Brief Answer:
Neurological examination.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up.
Numbness in upper leg can be neurological,of course. Do you have any low back pain associated?Along with numbness, do you have tingling or current like sensation in leg? If yes, symptoms could indicate disc issue and nerve radicle compression at the spine.

Thanks for your answer. I fear I may have some some of neurological symptoms I am not self diagnosing but I looked on internet and came across Peripheral Neuropathy and the symptoms that I am experiencing match this condition. I recently went to doctor they just prescribed by antidepressants I hope these don't make it worse.
Brief Answer:
No.Antidepressants won't make it worse.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
These symptoms are not typical of peripheral neuropathy.Peripheral neuropathy usually present with symptoms symmetrical in extremities.
Further, antidepressants won't make the symptoms worse for sure.In fact, they are likely to improve the symptoms.
Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
