Answers:

My left leg from my knee up goes numb but only on the front of the leg. I had gained some weight and the extra weight put pressure on my spine interferring with a nerve that was responsible for the numbness. After I lost the weight, the feeling came back. You don't have to had gained weight for a nerve in your spine to become pinched, which causes the condition you described. Go see a specialist.
