Hi, a few months back I bumped my shin pretty good against my coffee table while vacumning. Did not think anything of it until a few days later when showering I noticed that the area was numb. Again did not think anything of it but the sensation did not go away after a few weeks. There was numbness from the area where I banged it and down about 6 inches or more into the top of my right foot.
In the last couple of days the numbness has spread to the side of the leg horizontal to where I originally injured it and it is affecting my walking and the running that I have been doing. I feel like I have to lift that leg up a bit more before I let it down for whatever reason. Is this "drop foot"? Anyway I initially assumed that I had slightly damaged some nerves in the area but wonder if it is normal for the numb area to grow as it has.
Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

Next time get the french maid outfit with the mini, and that won't trip you.

Yes, it will rapidly progress until you are numb from the neck up. Oh wait I read your post, too late.

My brother tweaked the nerve while sleeping in a cross legged position. He had drop-foot for about a week, and it cleared up on its own.
Since your problem has lasted months, and seems to be getting worse, get thee to a orthopedist or neurologist (I'd choose the latter, since it looks like a nerve problem).
