I have a similar problem. Have had severe numbness in my feet, then progressively into my calves, then hamstrings then buttocks over about the past 18 mths. It starts immediately after sex, eases up if there are periods of abstinence, but generally is progressively getting worse. Now my toes are starting to curl up and I am getting increasingly more cramps. It started during my first pregnancy, the settled after but got seriously worse about 6 months after my second pregnancy. I had 2 caesarians due to over-ripe babies and there is a suggestions that there is scar tissue causing pressure on circulation or perhaps varicose veins that are somehow affected. I am off to the vascular surgeon soon. I am sick of it. The pain and numbness are debilitating, I am starting to avoid sex which is not good and it is so tiring. I am used to being a fit and healthy person. I hope somewhere that there are some answers!
