Uneven waist curve and numbness at 1 leg

Assalammualaikum…saya wanita berusia 22 tahun…saya ingin bertanya kepada Dr., i noticed that i have an uneven waist curve since i was 18 years old. But i thought i was wrong n its just my imagination. But now that i look carefully, i really do have an uneven waist curve. I also noticed that i have numbness at 1 leg from hip to toes. I just ignore it until i noticed that, at night, sometimes i have trouble sleeping bcs i feel like bone bump at the ribcage part and the numbness at the leg. But it(bump) doesnt show in the mirror or sometimes i think is it real? I learned about adolescents idiopathic scoliosis n it took my concern when i read bout the symptoms. For the numbness, at 1st, i read that its related to sciatica. So, i wanna ask your opinion dr, whats my problem actually? And do i have to go for medical checkup? And if so, how do i get the appointment for checkup and etc? Thankyou so much Dr.
