a question that was hard for me to ask

[Guest guest]

this is a hard thing for me to ask so please no one make fun of it this I

beg of you

hello all I have been not feeling to well lately so I see in the posts I

have not been the only one it is sad that so many of us are not well at this

time of the year cause the cold can make it so very hard on us I know it

does on me lately I have been sleeping a lot and my legs have been really

bothering me as well as my back and bones and a weird spot my privet spot

has anyone ever heard of something like this I know it is a odd ball

question but lately when I sit up I go totally num down there and it is

bother the shit out of me this has been going on for 3 weeks now and it is

not like when your legs fall asleep it is the same numb ness but no tingling

or pickies feeling like when the legs wake up it just stays that way this

has been really bothering me my legs have been hurting and this so I have

been in bed a lot instead of up and about in my chare I do not see a doc for

a bit so I can not ask him till them but since we are all adults most of us

as I know and it is not a rude or degrading question I figured I ask on

hear to see if anyone has herd of anything like this and if so was it

related the compression of the spine from a herniated disk's pressing on it

or anything else truly I like to know what is causing this could it be a

poor blood circulation problem I am truly at a loss I know it a privet

subject but I have to find out one way of the other how come thins is

happing to me anyway take care till we all talk again

We have covered many subjects in this group, that many others might find too private. However, we all need support with our problems. You could be right about the back problem causing numbness. Do you see a neurologist? They might help. Don't worry about anyone making fun of you. This is a great group of people. Any teasing you see is strictly meant for fun and usually the person sending and receiving know that they can handle the nonsense!! Love, Lee

Dear Darkbeing,

>lately when I sit up I go totally numb down there and it is bother

the shit out of me this has been going on for 3 weeks now

OK a couple of questions firstly

1) Is it ever not numb?

2) Is it ever numb and then the feeling comes back with extreme pain?

3) Has it stayed numb since the numbness started?

These are important to know as it could be to do with either nerve

signals in your spine or brain. Or as you said it could be

circulation, although with your history it sounds like nerves to me.

I know you said you dont see your Dr for awhile, but if its been numb

all the time then you should phone them up and tell them as any body

part that is suddenly numb is a very serious concern.

So please, to hell with how long you have to wait till you see the

Dr, just phone them and tell them its an emergency and demand to see

your Dr this week.

*gentle hugs*

1) Is it ever not numb? ~~ anser yes about 1/2 the time ~~

2) Is it ever numb and then the feeling comes back with extreme pain? ~~ no

no pain when the feeling does coem back and no tingling as well like if your

legs go to sleep it is not like that just numb ~~

3) Has it stayed numb since the numbness started? ~~ no it goes away but it

usuly numb when i sit and i am wheel chare bound so it is numb a lot of the

time ~~

I would call my doc to push a apoitment with him but he is usuly out of

office visiting other people that are scicker then me

he does a lot of house calls I know it is weard to hear but my doc who is

still very young bellivs in house calls and i live to fare out of the city

to get one and i always feel bad when i bother him when i know i see him

every mounth cuse if I see him more somone else does not get to which bugs

me I know it is weard but it is me but i see him next week to get more

morfine my months supply for next month 12600 mg lol sounds like a lot but I

acly could use more but do not want ot ask was going ot but i figured 15

more mg every dosage would not do to much so I might as well stay as what i

get o well ps if you did not know i am now geting over a cracked rim

fratured but not broken dam thing hurts when i breath deep or coff {did not

spell that well} anyway thanks for replying take care of your self

Darkbeing,

doctors here (USA) that make house calls.

We have something called "Call Doc" in California, where a van comes to your house, with a doctor, to make house calls.
