Help!!! my legs is numb

Ok so I notice last night that my right leg was getting numb:scared2: I would move my leg around or get up and walk it would go away for a little but then it would come right back :smile2: So I thought by this morning it would go away but it hasn't. It goes and comes but I have to be on my feet I can't sit or lay down. Has this happened to anyone? Should I be this worried? I think I will give my doctor a call. I am just scared because I am forever watching those shows and reading information on the internet which doesn't make it any better.

Thanks! :smile2: But I think you took that the wrong way I didn't mean for anyone on this website. I meant when I did a googel search the information that came up scared me even more. It's also good to talk to someone else that has or is going through the same situation you.

It may just be going to sleep. That can be caused from sitting in one spot for too long or even from a pinched nerve in the back.

Thanks Amanda!

Personally I would go to the emergency room NOW. I woke up one morning and within minutes my right hand was numb long story short. I had a mini stroke and ended up at Mass General (top 3 neurology unit in the country) for week 3 days in ICU. I was 39.

OMG!!!! Sorry to hear that

Damn are you serious? that is so scarey

i'm happy your doing well

I too would seek professional help soon, it could be from some injury to your back, and the nerve is getting damaged. Let us know how it goes. I dont think its related to the band.

I do a pinched nerve I walked around my house for a little and my leg felt better. Tomorrow I'm going to call my doctor.

Hi Bander, I was banded on the 13th and ever since i have had to go to the ER twice. First it was my right leg then my left, they did and ultrasound and found nothing, the second time they did the same thing and also found nothing! Please see a doctor as soon as possible. I don't mean to scare you but better safe than sorry. keep us posted hun :smile2:

HUGS!

I wish you luck with whatever it is. Hopefully, is nothing serious.

Thanks! I will make sure that I call in the am tomorrow.

I have a pinched nerve in my low back. It causes numbness in one of my legs and occasionally a deep burning, searing pain in my leg. It sucks but I'm hoping it will get better with treatment and weight loss.

Hey!

So the numb feeling I had in my right leg went away I guess the extra walking around did the trick B)
