Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2005Numbness
Hi all... A couple of months ago I lost feeling in one big toe. It is still numb. Docs couldn't find a problem. Now, for the second time in three weeks, I've temporarily lost feeling in both my thumbs. About a month ago I couldn't feel my whole left forearm, but attributed that to a spider bite... now not so sure. Any thoughts? I've been exercising more than usual (and still chasing a two-year-old around the house). All my bloodwork looks good, except my usual low i**n levels. Stress levels are high, but that is nothing too out of the usual either. I will need to go get it checked again, but if the doc still can't find anything then where do I start to look? Any ideas welcome... thanx, Janet N. hmmm . . . any pain or other sensations going on, that's a bit different than usual? it sounds a little like nerve compression, but then i'm going by my own experiences, not a vast database of knowledge here. but i'll ask anyway--how's your cervical spine? and your lower lumbar spine? kate > Hi all... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Janet N. > hmmm . . . any pain or other sensations going on, that's a bit different > than usual? it sounds a little like nerve compression, but then i'm going > by my own experiences, not a vast database of knowledge here. but i'll > ask anyway--how's your cervical spine? and your lower lumbar spine? > > kate Cervical spine is fine, other that being in need of a good massage. Lumbar spine, AFAIK, is fine also, although it is a fusion site from long ago and currently have OA in the region. Pain with the numbness is rare, though last night was bad. I got swelling in my feet and major pain in the toe. It was similar to the pain I got in my toes when I was getting the feeling back after breaking the (other) ankle, except this time the feeling didn't come back. Strange... Janet N. Janet N, don't have any suggestions to help you but wanted you to know I read this. Thinking of you and hoping you get some answers to what is going on with this. By the way, Stop soaking your toes and thumbs in alcohol. I have heard that will numb the whole body. ;-) ROFLMAO. I hope that at least gave you a laugh.  SignatureLove and hugs to all Good thoughts coming your way too. Squirrely Jo > Hi all... > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Janet N. Hi Janet, Have you seen a neurologist? Bonnie Bonnie is right...see a neurologist. Nerve conduction studies etc are probably in order to see what's going on. Ann Janet, Sorry, I don't have any answers for you, just hugs and prayers that they can get this all sorted out for you!
