Hi. I had numbness in my right thigh for years, and wasn't sure what it was, until I started developing other symptoms of neuropathy. I started taking large amounts of C-about 7-10,000 mg a day-for another condition. As I did, I started to notice my thigh was stinging! I thought, what the heck? But little by little the feeling has started to come back to my thigh. It is now just a bit numb, after maybe a month or a little more.
I just read here a response from Brazenhawk on another thread, saying that taking milk thistle 3xday 175 mg has pretty much cured his neuropathy, so I plan to try upping my intake from what it currently is. Hope this helps. :-)

Hi thanks for getting back to me it's just quite odd as I've read through different forums and symptoms and not a lot of people seem to have numbness that is all over .

From what I've seen I think most people seem to just have it in a few places, or if they have it more than that, they don't say anything because the painful neuropathy is just so much worse. I know that I lived with the numbness in my thigh for years and only noticed it when it first started to go numb, because it drove me crazy until it went completely numb. Kind of the same feeling in reverse once it started to get feeling again, but I didn't mind so much since I realized what was happening.
I hope you get better. I know that numbness like that can be dangerous, as you can hurt yourself and not even know it.
