What Causes Numbness In Right Foot And Leg?

My right foot and leg (below my thigh) is partially numb and has been for 3 days now. When I walk it gives out on me. I have been sitting a lot and wonder if it is a pinched nerve. I think my potassium leval is good and I do not believe I am dehydrated. I have cut back quite abit on salt.Thank you,Suzanne

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such numbness could be due to some nerve compression not due to electrolyte imbalanced, better to get done the LS spine imaging study to rule out this, till then try to maintain good posture, hope this information helps, take care.
