Question
I have been having problems.  From about my left knee down to my ankle I have a numbness on the top/shin area.  If reminds me of how my legs felt when I had a spinal for my c-section, and how my belly felt around the incision after my c-section, it just doesn't feel right, I can feel it, it just isn't right.
My ankle is sore, and my hip is sore, so I am thinking a pinched nerve. I also have a cramp in my foot at times.
I went to a chiropractor today, he didn't seem to worried, he adjusted me and for a minute or two it did get a little less numb feeling.
My question to you is, does this sound serious or would you agree that a few adjustments can probably fix me up? (That is basically what the chiropractor I seen told me)
If it isn't from my hip or ankle what else could it  be?
I am 28 female caucasion, otherwise healthy.  I have been aching.
Thanks for all your help!

P.S. No known injury, I do sit on that leg, and have pretty poor posture, I sit at a computer, and sleep on my stomach which makes it worse.  I have been having a shoulder problem long before this started, I don't think it is related, but thought I would put it out there just in case.

Answer
"Paresthesia" in a leg is commonly associated with nerve irritation or compression from the lower back.  While there are serious conditions that can cause leg pareshesias, I would defer to your chiropractic doctor.  I cannot comment on the foot cramp or the aching.  If your chiropractor did his/her job of physical examination and found no loss of reflexes, no muscle weakness in the leg, ankle, or great toe, and no worries, then try a few visits and get a sense if it's helping.  If it's nerve root compression, then there are various types of chiropractic "adjustments" and distraction methods that likely will help.
