Arms are numb?

Good morning Chelle. I have numbness of my hands and feet also.  I was just dxd. in June so I don't know much about Fibro neither.  I thought my feet were both due to having both knee replacements, but I've read a lot on this forum and I think it sometimes goes with the Fibro.

 

Maybe some more people will let us know more about their symptoms.

 

God Bless!

My  arms and legs go munb all the time, but i have neurapathy.

the most pain ful i will be alsleep and have to get up(whichi is often) my whole shouldler is frozen i have to use the other hadn to get the arm to to move it nevers fully goes away until i hvae been up for awhile...

Well there are times when I get painful tingling in my arms which I've always associated with anxiety. There have been times though where the bottom of my feet felt tender and tingly as well and it was very awkward trying to walk like that. The later I suspect is probably fibro related but I'm not sure about the former.

Hey GamJill,

 

Mine does the same thing, only sometimes (both legs and arms). I think I am going into a flare because I've had a really bad day today and its getting worse. I over did it yesterday. :(  So I do think it's all part of the fibro, b/c like you, I never had this back in the good ol' days, lol.

 

However, sitting down or laying down is not helping. No matter how much I shake them, it's not helping.  I was wondering if it may be something like restless leg, but also in the arms and if I can take something for that. The only problem is that I don't want to take medicine everyday for something that may happen once a month or so.

I do have an issue with my neck hurting along with this. I also have a tender spot between my shoulder blades that hurts when touched but is not causing a problem. My neck, mostly the right side had been bothering me lately. My fibro affects my right side more than the left but not exclusively. I know typing hurts, but I can't recall what action made them start feeling like this in the first place. It hurts just laying or sitting watching TV. I would not describe it as pain. So I don't want any type of pain medicine.  It seems like the more I use them, the more it has this numbing type feeling.

 

It started Saturday, when we took our kids fishing. Casting out hurt my arm, but it was already starting to hurt before that. Doing that just aggravated it. Then that night, I was pulling weeds, and trimming tree branches, so I figured I over did it. Oh yea, and played tee ball with the kids. Wouldn't trade a minute for any of it though. :D

 

Something else thats hurting is the bottom of my heels. It feels like my bone in the heel is going to go through the skin when I walk.

 

I just though it's the beginning of a flare. All my flare ups start differently though, so I can't really tell yet.

Chelle -
Yes, mine gets worse if I overdo it and it sounds like you have. My numbness in my arms comes easily too, like Sera had mentioned if I write, type or do any kind of cooking with my arms up.

I ignore it as much as possible and switch what I am doing. Let your Dr. know about it at your next appt. - my Dr. knows but does not seem concerned.

I had my nieces wedding this last Saturday and had so much fun and "over" did it and wouldn't trade a minute of any of it also. I made sure I did not do much yesterday and the same today.

I'm not sure about the heel pain. I do not get that. (At least not yet-) GamJill

Sera, fingertips and toes & tip of nose can be cold at times but not necessarily numb. My hands can feel like carpal tunnel sometimes.  If its nerve damage, where do I start to get it checked out? This does not occur often. Actually the last couple days has been the worst it's ever been. I would always ignore it before.

 

But yes, my hands and feet can feel cold at times and then at other times, they are very sweaty and I am embarassed to shake hands with people because of that.

 

Thanks for your help!
