Re: Medical Help Please
Have your neck and spine checked. Most likely it is a nerve related thing (hernia...) meaning that mediaction is not going to solve it.Originally posted by 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.
And don't wait too long. Otherwise it might take a looooooong time to recover."Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum."Comment

I've had a numbness in my left forearm and hand half a year ago. This led to an almost complete loss of strength in the hand; I wasn't even able to cut the fingernails on my right hand anymore, and that despite that I'm left-handed.
My doctor sent me to a neurologist, who found out, that one of my nerves is jammed between bones in the elbow region. He told me to put a pillow under my elbow at my desk at work for several weeks to give the nerve time to regenerate. If that doesn't help, he said, a surgery is imminent. It helped; some numbness is still there (less and tolerable), but the strength returned.
See a doctor.
EDIT: A colleague of me has numb feet, and for him it's diabetes related. Might be possible too. Get your ass to a doc, pronto.Comment

Apoc, send some Spam to teh internet saying that you live in a country with inadequate healthcare and need some money. Then you can go to a doctor.Comment

Can you not go to a doctor, keep the receipt and then when you've got your insurance sorted get it paid for by them or the army (as it was their fault you're not insured)?
Even if you can't, go to a doctor! It's harsh that you live in a country where it can be so difficult/expensive to get medical care but you shouldn't be getting advice from an internet forum.
Alternatively, move to Cuba?Comment

I would assume a pinched nerve, but it's both hands and feet, so that's weird. I would then agree that it's a vitamin diffeciency, but don't know which one. Thus, take a multi-vitamin. And for God's sake, see a doctor!
Either that or you could be developing super powers that in some way effect your hands and feet.Comment

Well, the thing is I have seen two doctors, but neither are a primary care physician so they weren't going to run tests. Basically they did nothing and told me to go get an appointment with a physician, which I can't as I don't have insurance. I don't see it being a vitamin deficiency because I do take those.
Personally I wonder if it is Guillain-Barré syndrome since this started around the same time I got a flu vaccination."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

Apocalypse, you need to get it checked out. It sounds like a blood pressure or blood circulatory problem. Letting it go for over 12 days with no improvement is obvious that time is not going to cure it and it that it might be an indication of something more severe. Please go see a medical professional about it.

Re: Medical Help Please
Apocalypse, did you send any time at all on active duty in the Army? If so, then just go to your nearest VA Hospital. They will see and treat you if you spent anytime on active duty.Originally posted by Apocalypse

Oh I am on active duty right now. The doctors won't do any tests on it. The primary care physician is supposed to. I just can't get one because I am not in DEERS so I can't get Tricare."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear
