Hello runners,
I am 24 year female who has recently started running, for couple of months now. But lately I am starting to feel numbness in my right leg, sometimes it's so severe that I am not able to sleep. Also, i feel like my hip is numb too so I can't sleep on sides anymore, I have to turn on back. I am starting to think that I hurt myself somehow during running because this has never happened before. Anybody with same symptoms?

You need to get to a good chiropractor tomorrow.
Sounds like it could be sciatica caused by either a disc problem in your back or a tight piriformis muscle - look up piriformis syndrome, there's lots of info on this board. You can see someone to determine which it is. This is the safest bet as the back issue can be more serious and is treated differently.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
