Numbness across abdomen

For a week the right side of my abdomen, from below right breast down to my hip, has felt numb. This goes across to the middle of my abdomen. I’ve checked for rash, no sign and no other symptoms. It seemed to begin after a Pilates class. Any ideas??

I have this symptom, and my GP suggested it might be a B12 deficiency - I am currently awaiting results of a blood test to confirm/rule this out. I would suggest seeing your GP, as it could have various causes - a trapped nerve was also mentioned as a possible cause. The fact yours began after a Pilates class adds weight to the trapped nerve possibility as you'd have been moving your body in ways differently from normal.

It's one of those things where it's a case of ruling things out till you get to the bottom of it, but see your GP and get the ball rolling sooner rather than later.
