Hi all. Im finding it hard to tell if what im feeling in my arms is numbness or weakness. They feel weak but they are not. They feel numb but i can still feel. Can anyone help me with this one? Can anyone help me with this one? The difference? Thank you x
Hmmm, tricky one. I’m not sure myself either.
With my left leg its permanently numb from below the knee into my foot so it feels weak because my foot is not registering that its touching the floor.
When i get patches of numbness in my upper body i tend to get a feeling of weakness at the same time but sometimes I just feel weak and not numb.
I know what you mean about still being able to feel even though you are numb, my numb areas are hypersensative and painful to touch, even a drip of water really stings. sounds like a complete contradiction though doesn’t it! the nervous system certainly is a weird and complex thing!
