I am getting a strange tingling around my left eye and in my wrists. started this morning and is not going away, only getting more intense. any ideas why this may be happening? haven't eaten anything new today or yesterday.

thanks,

Patti

Have any of your medications dosages been changed?

I would call your doc.

Hi Patti, this is the first time I've heard of this type of side effect. I agree with Tiff, it's probably best to seek medical advice.

I hope someone can chime in and offer some help! Let us know how it turns out, and that you are O.K.

I have a tingling (numb, asleep) feeling in my little finger since surgery too. I thought it could be a side effect from PPI's or not getting enough B12 but have been off them for a few weeks now and my finger is still numb.

Hi ,

My little finger and my ring finger on my left hand have been numb since the surgery also. I did have some feeling come back in the ring finger, yesterday is the first day I wore a ring and now i have intermittent stabbing pains in my ring finger, the little finger is still numb. Has anyone else experienced this. Surgery date = 11/27/10

If you find a cause for the numbness, please let me know.

Vitamin B-6 overdose can lead to numbness in hands (and possibly feet). Vitamin B-12 deficiency can cause numbness. I would check your vitamins. I had a patient of mine tell me that he read and article on B-6 causing tingling and numbness in hands and took himself off of it and was back to normal in about a week. Hope your find an answer soon.

OK, i think i figured it out! haven't been taking my vitamins! so i took a B12 subling, and about an hour or two later the tingling went away! so i guess i'm not getting enough meat or somthing through food like i did when i had my band. the only thing i was lacking then was D. so I will totally start taking all my vites again NOW!!!

thanks so much for all of your replies!

Patti

Interesting! I suppose i too will begin religiously taking all my vites again too! Thanks for posting this!

Thanks for the information. I had heard that B-12 deficiency could cause numbness. I have been taking B-12 since surgery. I just checked a couple of my Multivitamins. One has 25mg of B-6 and the other one has 50 mg, which is 1250% and 2500% of daily recommendations. I wonder if I can find a Multivitamin without B-6.

Tingling has a neurologic patho so definitely see MD and request B12 panel.

Also folate (B9) deficiency can cause peripheral tingling/numbness.

B12 and B6 will probably help.
