Should my leg still be numb after flying 30+ hours ago?
I got back from Cancun to Gatwick at 8am yesterday, it's now 10.30pm so like 38 hours ago and my left leg has been numb from the knee down to about mid leg. I have googled and DVT comes up but wondering if this is purely from sitting in the same position for 9+ hours or if I should see a doctor? I thought it would pass within few hours but doesn't seem to have improved at all. No pain or anything, just numb.

DVTs typically elicit pain; numbness is rare. It sounds as though you may have compressed a nerve and it needs time to begin conducting properly once again. You can try low-grade (avoid hills, etc) walking for 5 min at a time and perform ankle pumps (moving the foot back and forth) intermittently to try to get things moving again.
If you symptoms persist beyond the weekend, I'd go to your primary care doctor to rule out a possible DVT. You'll sleep easier knowing that it isn't a DVT and you can persue physical therapy, etc to try to regain sensation in your lower extremity.

I aroused from sleep at four am in hard work. I was once uncomfortable sufficient I would no longer sleep. I was once dialated to a one million. At nine am I went in for a hard work investigate and I was once nearly two cm. Finally round three pm I was once dialated to four cm so I would be admitted into the clinic. I obtained my epidural at approximately eight pm whilst I was once at 6 cm. He was once born at 10pm!
