My FINGERS and FEET seem to go NUMB these DAYS ....

I would think that your legs might be more likely to go numb from a pinched nerve first. Maybe it is the way you are sitting? Have you been checked for diabetes? I have know some people with diabets who have numbness or tingling in their feet. Maybe you should check with your doctor?

Hello,texascalssygal,honestly I am not sure what happen to you.So do you feel painful as well? And for how long will your feet and toes go numb? I am not sure the kind of numbness should be experienced by everyone,whenever you keep the same position for sometime,like when you are sitting down ,there may be chances that the blood cannot reach your feet or toes because of your sitting posture.If it happens again,you can try to stand up and have a walk,I think it is because you have been sitting for too long.

Hi Lorie that has been happening to me for years it still does this sometimes. I do have Carpal tunnal Syndrome. I got an operation on one hand I didn't get the other hand operated on. I didn't want to be usless. Some like some sort of nerve thing. Ok, I will chat later. Have a good week!

It could be poor circulation, sometimes cause by smoking. Your hurt back though, does seem to fit in with your symptons. i am 49 years of age, & don't have these problems, but am always being tokd that smoking will, do various things. You hasd [probably get a Doctor to check it out if it continues, as I'm no expert on these things (although my Mother is)!

Stu's mom has the same thing, they started to go a little numb at the fingers, then it got more frequent, then into the toes, and now her complete feet. she went to the doctor to find out what was going on, she may be old but she's really active and they told her it had something to do with her blood, i can't quite remember but i believe it was something to do with lack of circulation. Maybe it's a good idea to go to the doctor and get a scan, make sure everything's alright just in case hun.

I was reading some of your replies to the responses...of how you get the numbness in your feet especially when all propped up with your laptop...it could be a simple case of just plain sitting too long...so get moving gal!! LOL--as for the hands...thank goodness I haven't hand it in awhile but I have that carpal tunnel business and it doesn't have to be from too much typing...any repetitive action with the hands will trigger carpal tunnel..even housecleaning Still maybe for your peace of mind...maybe get checked out with a doc Here's a link about numbness on hands and feet maybe that fall did do something though...you're not diabetic are you? http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003206.htm there are more links but I sometimes kind of avoid reading too much medical causes --otherwise you'd think you had ever disease going and become a hypochondriac! LOL

The numbness in your fingers and hands could be carpal tunnel syndrome. It usually affects people who type alot. The numbness in your feet I do not have a clue about. If I were you I would see a doctor and ask him about both conditions.

Perhaps try a Vitamin B complex to make sure your cells are getting enough oxygen?Just a thought.

You could be right about the typing and the sitting. Boyfriend also could be right. I have some problems because of arthritis in three of my vertebrae. I would also ask if you have been screened recently for diabetes. I have some numbness and tingling episodes. The doc wants me to have an electro conductivity test, I forget it's real name, the chiropractor says,why, if you are not going to change anything,it is painful and expensive. Doc said it was carpal tunnel , but that does not explain what happens in my leg. I really benefit by taking mega doses of vitamin B6. I would talk to the doctor.

You need to go to the doctor right away I had and it was a problem with one the arteries to my heart. So they had to put a stent in. As far as the tingling going away it will always be with me. But not as bad. I had it for a while before I went. So please make an appointment with your doctor.

I know this is a late response but get yourself seen by a doctor,if you haven't already.....my father went through this in his early 40's,he too ignored it until he had a heartattack,his main arteries in his heart were blocked and he ahd a lot of blockage in his legs.....I thank god they got to him early enough to repair the arteries but the damage was done and was never the same....good luck to you

Hun, I'd take it to the doctor. Could be a pinched nerve, could be something more serious. If they've been going numb over the last few years then that's not a fall in December. Hopefully it isn't anything serious, but there are a few things that it could be that could be bad.

When does it goes numb? When you are sleeping or even when you are awake? Or only when the temperature is too cold. Other than the numbness, are they other pains or you feel lethargic? Sorry, I asked too many questions. I hestiate to speculate, may I suggest you go for a checkup for assurance. One thing for sure is issue with blood circulation.

Hi texasclassygal, im actually thinking 2 things on that, : one is, my grandmother used to have that kind of numbness too, but when we had it checked, we found out that her potassion level in her body went below normal that we have to ask her to eat lots of banana and aovcado and it did helped her somehow... : 2nd, a good friend in canada had an operation because of that numbness too, its because of the nerve..i dont exactly understand what the doctors esplanation. hope you are fine now...take care

If you had only said fingers and hands, I would have said you probably have carpel tunnel syndrome, but don't know about the feet and toes. I do have a chair I use in the computer room that seems to sometimes cut right across the back of my thigh and causes my left foot to go to sleep until the toes hurt big time. That's when I know I've been on the computer too long and have to get off.

I had this when I was pregnant with my last child and it was called Carpel Tunnel Syndrome . It can get quite painful and I had to wear a brace . It is caused from repetitive behavior and typing is really bad for it . Not sure about your feet though as I never had it in my feet . You should go have this checked out as you don't want to find out it would have not got as bad if you had , had it checked out earlier . If it is carel tunnel then you will be able to get a brace to wear to help with the pain and will be told to limit your use with the limbs that are going numb on you . In severe cases they have to operate so it would be best to have it checked out as soon as possible and if it isn't this then it would be good to know what it was in case your boyfriend is right . Best of luck and take care !!

Hi Texasclassygal! I hope you feel better now. Maybe to consult a doctor would be better. At least, you'll know at once if it's something serious. Hopefully not. Take care! (^^,)

In your 40's strange things do start happening to your body. I've never had the numbness like you are talking about, but what your boyfriend said could be the reason. I think you probably should see a doctor to find out for sure though. I'm thinking that if it was a pinched nerve you would have noticed it before now.
