Is The Numbness In Leg Caused By The Sun Burn?

I got sunburn on my legs on Friday, and then from Saturday night through now (Monday afternoon) I ve had a numbness on one leg. is this caused by the sunburn? I ve had numbness before due to a pinch nerve and a mini stroke, so I just want to make sure that if this time is related to the sunburn or should I go to the doctor to get another MRI.
