    I don't think it's from the bug bite though. It's just weird how my leg has been getting randomly numb for a week. :confused:

    Is it numb all over your leg or certain spots?

    When I was your age and younger, sometimes my leg would get numb in certain areas and I would have to rub it or lightly hit it for it to go away. It was always in my thighs about half way on top or the sides of my thighs.

    Sometimes now my thighs still get a numb feeling, It's more of a light numbness than heavy though. I think I even remember getting it in my arms too.

    My guess is that it has to do with lack of blood flow circulation for what I had, but whatever I don't really know. Does this sound close to what you have?

    Pretty much exactly. :laugh:



    I work out regularly though, shouldn't that enhance circulation?

    I found this guy today on a chair on my porch that I was moving. The webs gave him away. He's definitely a fatty! One of the bigger ones I've seen in a long time. Ye ole' Black Widow....I hear only 50% are venomous (the females) but it saw it's last day today. That's a quarter next to him.

    I would say if you don't have any painful swelling on the bite location, it could be a pinched nerve in your lower back due to the out door activity described in the trench. Look up Sciatica and go see your doctor for some muscle relaxers and take some motrin. Stretching might help it, Thats what I get sometimes
