Numbness on the left side of my body. Pain on my right side

For about a week I have been getting pain in my right hip, knee, foot and butt. It won't go away. Then a few days ago my right side started going numb in my leg. Now for the past two days the right side of my body feels like it feel asleep. I get occasional numbness on the right side of my face.  I'm very scared and can't afford to go to the doctor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Could it be from my anxiety? I'm just trying to figure out if it is something I can just wait and see. As mentioned I don't have medical insurance or enough money to see a doctor at the moment. Any advice would be appreciated. I understand it is hard for you to determine what it might be. If there are any questions I could answer to help. Please let me know. I don't have heart problems, am not over weight, I recently quit smoking and have been on the patch for nearly two months. Again thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for using the forum.

If you are having numbness on one side of your body, I have to recommend that you see a doctor. I am not familiar with your medical history and what you describe could be a sign of a serious medical condition. In order to receive proper treatment, you need to be seen to have a diagnosis.

Sorry, I hope you feel better soon.
