Numb foot!

I would see your GP about that, it probably is the fibro but anything new like that you should really ask your GP about. It is easy to put everything down to fibro but it could just as easily be a trapped nerve or something else, can't think what but I'm not a Dr.

please get it checked, gentle hugs

Hi Amber what diagnosis have you from your GP. If you have fibromyalgia you will get these odd sensations. The problem isn't really understood but I think it is cause by a blip in your autonomic system. When you are well you don't notice your autonomic system at all. If you have flu you feel ill, you go to bed because the flu virus is fighting your body, but in order to kill the virus your body forces you to sleep and sweat to get rid of the flu. You feel a bit better  you get up grumble and then in a few days you see the sun shine and you go on living your life. If you have fibromyalgia your body is like you had gone back to work grumbling. This is because you have 2 parts to the system that is keeping you alive. The the sympathetic (flight and fight) the parasympathetic (rest and digest) because your fibromyalgia has carried on your feeling pains and getting odd feelings. They will be frightening but they are just a way of telling you you need to relax if possible and rest. This is because your autonomic nervous system is slightly out of balance. If things worsen, go to your GP or rheumatologist 🍀

I agree with Shelagh, if it's new you really must see your Dr, especially given that it's been going on for a whole week. 

Take care and gentle hugs.

Hi Amy, I have numbness and tingling regularlr on arms and hands during the night. They say this - peripheral neuropathy - is caused by some nerve damage. If you feel clamping in your leg it may be the case that some nerve is tight or strained. If you could get hold of some Epsom Salts  and bathe in them maybe the nerve would release. ... I know it's hot now so it's no ideal for any hot baths but maybe with warm water. Maybe if you could go swimming it would also help the straining. Take care.

Hi Amy I have had a numb foot the right foot, it lasted a week then it wwent off, next thing was it happened to the left foot but also affected my leg. It lasted a week then went a way. It may be down to fibro. but if i was you I would see your gp anything new is worth getting checked out with your gp. just to be on the safe side. as you never know whether its fibro or something else going on. better to to be safe than sorry.take care 

Thank you ladies so much I hate asking so much questions but I have health anxiety as well so I worry about things a lot. I will defiantly do the Epsom salt thing. You ladies make a difference!!!

Hi again Amy, I just want to say that, as far as I know nobody on here is a doctor, while most of us have first hand experience of fibro we don't know all the other things that could result in your symptoms. I would be much happier if I knew you were going to see your doctor.

take care Amy, gentle hugs x

Hi Amy firo affects us all different rangeing from mild symptoms to extrem symptoms fibro affects each every 1 of us differently in the severity of it. Any new symptom is worth checking out with your gp just to be on the safe side incase anything else health wise is going on even if its a phone consultation over the phone. it may or may not be connected to fibro. so personaly speaking if it was me I would speak or see your gp. none of us ladies are drs we just share our own experiences with what we are going through we are all on this forum to help support each other. I do hope you will get in touch with your gp and if you do please tell us how you got on take care amy gentle hug
