Today, I went to the doctor to try and get answers about the numbness and tingling in my right leg. The Dr told me I was too fat for my pants, and I pinched a nerve. FML

Today, I got scared by my own leg fat. FML
Today, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML
Today, after nerve pain and trouble sitting down, I found a lump in my ass crack. My doctor thought might be a tumour or cancer, so I was sent for scans. Apparently my whole life I’ve had an ingrown vestigial tail at the bottom of my spine hidden under the skin. FML
Today, my doctor told me to take off my pants so she could do a checkup. When I took them off, she gasped. When I asked what was wrong, she said she was expecting something else. She thought I was a dude. FML
Today, I went to a new doctor for an injury. Instead, the doctor only focused on my weight and tried to basically prescribe me anorexia. She tried to tell me that 750 calories a day was fine and brushed off my exercise regimen as, "Exercise is great, but you'll lose weight faster if there are no calories to burn." FML
Today, after not moving at work all day, I decided to be healthy and walk home. Now my thighs are numb from rubbing together. FML
Today, I went to the doctor to have my annual check-up. After the doctor made me waddle across the room towards him, hop on one foot for thirty seconds, and then lay on my stomach and do the worm, he finally said, "OK, that wasn't really part of the check-up. You're large on the hips. Lay off the Cheetos." FML
Today, the sciatic nerve in my left leg started twinging at random moments, leaving that leg painful and useless for a few seconds each time. Yesterday, I twisted my right knee and ankle falling over at work. Standing up is terrifying and I don't know which leg to limp on. FML
Today, I was crossing the street and did a full on faceplant. The reason? I pinched a nerve in my foot a couple of days ago, and now it’s completely useless. It’s like walking around with a dead foot. I think I’d be better off hopping on one. FML
Today, I proved my doctor wrong. I've been having difficulty breathing for 3 months. When it started, she said it was anxiety. I knew that wasn't the case, but I did what she said. A few weeks later, I told her during a follow-up that I thought it might be my phrenic nerve. She laughed. The physio confirmed it today. FML

i've actually read about something like that, and it doesnt necessarily mean you're fat/too big for your pants. anything tight on your leg, like leggings or skinny jeans or just tight/fitted jeans in general can pinch your nerve, causing the numbness and tingling you described. its rare, but becoming more and more common. hope that makes you feel better :)

A true doctor has qualities of empathy and compassion. Yes, they are supposed to speak the truth but they are also expected to empathize as well as suggest solutions to the patient. Nobody likes rude people, even if they are "supposed" to be straightforward. There's a difference between being straightforward and just being plain rude.

Why does this have more YDIs than FYLs?
