Strange numbness/pain

[johnathon408]

Well i'm a 19 year old male 6'0" 270 lbs and i have had days where i wake up and my arms and legs (usually both arms and legs at once) feel weak sore and almost numb. It feels like i ran alot and cant lift my toes and doing so causes pian from my toes up to my shin. stretching my hands and feet sometimes helps make the numbness and pain subside. One time it was so bad when i stood up my legs just gave out and i did not have the strength to pick myself up. The pain is random but if i drink alcoholic drinks i get the pians the next morning. i went to the doctor after being dragged into the car because i could not stand but the told me it was nothing and it was in my head. I don't know if they are wrong or right so i came here for another opinion. Thank you for your time and help.

You may have meant to post in the neurology forum, but since you are here, you may be in the right place.  This kind of picture is often assosiated with anxiety if there are no hard neurological signs...and you are heavy, and being heavy at this age is often a sign of emotional eating, eating to quell anxiety rather than deal with the source....think of this, and also check out my shrinkyourself.com site where you can get more information about emotional eating.
