Medical Help Please

[Apocalypse]

My hands and feet (particularly my right foot) have been numb for the past 12 days. Mainly a tingly numbness like it is asleep. But constantly for the past 12 (now almost 13) days.

I can't walk normally and my legs are sore too. I am going crazy over this.

I can't get this checked out by doctors since I don't have medical insurance due to the army saying I am not in the army due to an error.

Impossible. I am not gay and I have been circumcised.

Then by process of elimination, you absolutely must be a heroin addict.

Do you have diabetes/diabeetis? Back injury recently?

[SlowwHand]

Since we're offering wildass guesses, I'll say you had a stroke.

Take the rubberbands off your wrists and ankles.

[SlowwHand]

Oh, well hell. I didn't know he had the rubberbands on.
That's definitely it.

Sounds like a blood pressure problem

You eating enough dark chocolate?

Also sounds like it may be a B12 deficiency (in addition to diabetes or poor circulation). Gotta see a doc.

[Nugog]

Go and see a doctor!

[SlowwHand]

Which means the county hospital.

This from Medline Plus, a webside of the National Institutes of Health:

There are many possible causes:

Remaining in the same seated or standing position for a long time
Injury to a nerve -- for example, a neck injury may cause you to feel numbness anywhere along your arm or hand, while a low back injury can cause numbness or tingling down the back of your leg
Pressure on the spinal nerves such as that due to a herniated disk
Lack of blood supply to an area -- for example, plaque buildup from atherosclerosis in the legs can cause pain, numbness, and tingling while walking (this is called vascular claudication)
Other medical conditions, including:
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Diabetes
Migraines
Multiple sclerosis
Seizures
Stroke
Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Underactive thyroid
Abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body
A lack of vitamin B12 or other vitamin
Certain medications
Toxic action on nerves, such as that from lead, alcohol, or tobacco
Radiation therapy
