Numb

[ali4k]

I have been having problems with swelling and sore back and migraines since my daughter was born three years ago. Now, my back and neck are hurting.  My feet, part way up my calves, hands and tongue all feet numb with pins and needles for four days.   I am kinda hunching over when I walk.  What is going on?  I have also been diagnosed with bronchitis and feel like there is a lump in my throat.  My whole face hurts, too.

Hi!  Are you still having all of the symtoms?  I don't know much about arthritis but I could see where back problems in general would cause issues in your legs if it's lower back.  From what I was told you would probably feel pain in your lower back.  Have they done an MRI on that area?  Definitely the hunching when you walk is probably related to your back.

The doctor said I have arthritis in my back, but I am still unsure if that would cause all these problems.

Hi I also have all of those symptoms...my started 10 mo after my son was born.  Started slowly with tingling in one calf but I now have tingling burning pins and needles in feet hands and arms and legs.  Sometimes the face.  The lump in the throat I also have but I think that might be anxiety related.  Hav eyou had your thyroid checked?  Also B12 deficiency can cause all of that.  See if you regular doc can run some blood tests.  If they come back normal they will probably refer you to a neurologist.  Unfortunately I have been through all of this and still have no answers.  Hang in there...your not alone!
