Quick Numbness In Arms And Legs



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced numbness in their arms and legs since surgery? When I sit and cross my legs, the leg on top goes numb pretty quickly. Also if I lay on my side with my arm underneath me, my arm goes numb and my hand and fingers get really cold. This is just something I've noticed more lately. Does this indicate a Vitamin deficit or a circulation problem?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

hi there- I had the same symptoms at 3 months post-op. turns out I had a potassium deficiency. I've have to up my intake and take a supplement - which is yucky- for about 2 weeks. My potassium level is improving as is my numbness. hope that helps.

I also had experience numbness in my thighs, legs, lower abdomen... B12 did all the difference for me. I even lost total feeling in my thighs. 2500 sublingual b12 is what did it for me and feeling is back. Now... being that I lost so much weight, when I sit for a long period my legs do start to get numb but that is normal due to the weight loss and the stomach excess skin kinda pinching the nerve. for reference your more then welcome to check out my youtube Vlog for more reference www.youtube.com/brol1k

I have had some numbness, but mostly cold extremities. Maybe it's just weight loss. ;)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
