Hi. I'm having a problem that is quite uncomfortable and I'm not sure
if it's serious or what to do. Whenever I sit down, I lose sensation
just under my left butt cheek and down in my calf. Has anyone seen
this before and can help me with some advice on what to do and what it
could be?
Thanks in advance,
Lisa

check with your doctor. Could be some thing wrong with your nerve.

It could be sciatica, which causes pain in the buttock and leg, and can
worsen while sitting. Of course, only a doctor who has examined you can
tell you for sure, and if you're having symptoms of weakness in the leg
or difficulty controlling your bowels or bladder you should seek medical
attention immediatly.

Do you have a wallet that is in your back left pant pocket.
Remove it and put it in a front pocket.
You are male and young? And finally have a
wallet with some cards and money. In other
words your wallet has gotten bigger such that
it puts pressure on blood vessels to the leg.
