What might cause pain/numbness in my hip and leg?I am 23. Since I was 13 I have been aware of tightness and pain in my right hip if I sit with my legs crossed (right over left) or sit cross-legged for too long. It becomes painful to move my leg out of that position. At night, occasionally my leg goes numb from the hip down to the foot - a general cold feeling all over the leg, not so much numb as in I can't feel things. Any ideas? I intend to see a chiropractor one day about it, but as I am a victim of the recession, I have no health insurance and no job right now, so doctor's visits are not an option.

Pinched muscles in your lower back putting pressure on the nerves going to your legs. That is a pretty common one to have happen. Here's how to release them:
Back:
Place your left hand on your left leg and try to keep it straight. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and with your fingertips find the muscle next to your spine. Press on it and hold. Relax, take a deep breath and exhale and don't tense up any part of your body. After about 30 seconds there should be a release happening and when it does slowly lower yourself forward onto your right leg. If you can lean over the outside edge of your leg it will be better for your release. Continue holding for a total of one minute. Then release but rest your body there for one minute longer. Then reverse and do the right side.
