Numbness/tingling feeling
Hi everyone.
Today I've been having a lot of numbness and tingling in my hands and feet. When the tingling starts, my muscles seem to tense up and it's hard to move my fingers or toes. I even have trouble just moving my entire foot. Also, my eyelids have been twitching non stop. Has anyone else had any problems like this? I don't know if it's related to anything with surgery, but I just thought I'd see who else is out there that has this!
I have MS and numbness and tingling is normal for me but my MS doctor watches my B12 because she says that will cause numbness and tingling if it is low. It also can cause the spacitisty that your describing Some people who's Doctors suspect MS check b12 first. I would call and see if you can get it checked soon but with having VSG you may be B12 deficient. Good Luck.
Call your surgeon to talk to him about it.
Yes, I have tingling/numbness/sharp pains down the entire front of my body from chest to feet. I called my surgeon and he said the nerves that were covered by my fat pads are now exposed. He expects it to go away.... eventually. After my husbands "gentle suggestion" I had blood work done by my PCP. I was told to start taking a B complex vitamin because my B1 and B12 were low. Also my Iron and D3 were low. Everything else checked out OK.
I go to my surgeon for my 3 month check tomorrow and we will have a conversation in person about it. The tingling on the bottom of my feet make it hard to walk sometimes. Quite annoying.
I hope we are both better soon!
Thanks for the advice everyone! I called the nurse at the office and she wants me to have blood taken by tomorrow because she thinks it is a vitamin deficiency. She isn't concerned about blood clots since I don't have any symptoms of one. Hopefully it's just a vitamin deficiency which they can just give me a prescription for a supplement!
