Hello everyone I’m lisa, I haven’t been on here for a long time but would like to run something by you all. For the pass 4 days my left leg from thigh to my ankle has been numb, when I touch the leg it feals like it’s all pricky. Today my bum cheek went numb to. It now feals like I’ve got a stream of water runing down the whole leg like it’s trickling and dripping downwards. Dose anyone have any ideas what it might be as im really worried. Any advice would be much appreciated xxxx
Hi Lisa I don’t go completely numb but I do get strange sensations in my left leg … burning , tingling and fizzing and sort of heavy feeling … and yes the water effect is a a good one … even looked down before now just to check I wasn’t wet ! For me it is just part of day to day life … I’ve had it since my first symptoms about 10 yrs ago … most of time I can ignore it (or sometimes it’s virtually non existent ) and I have amytripyline to help “turn it down” but it gets worse when I am tired or stressed … but if it’s new for you it’s probably worse mentioNing to ms nurse if you have one
hope this helps
Had written a post before but God knows where it went.anyway just to say that I too get this it’s my left side,what I call my bad side,my hip and even my butt goes tingly in fact it would appear to be excited about something.only joking it’s the weirdest feeling isn’t it.my ms nurse says in my case it’s to do with the nerve from my spine down my leg.do see about it anyway take care lisa
Thank you so much for both your comments, I’m glad it’s not just me this is happening to. I’m on a truck load of medicines but they don’t seem to help with the numbness.it feals so strange at the moment because it’s so new. Many thanks xxx
lisa83 - are you getting enough sleep / too much stress lately?
i get the ‘hot sock’ or various other neuropathic weirdness / pain if i neglect quality pillow time or spend too much time dwelling on silly bollocks.
