Sounds odd, I know, but that's how it feels... Is that the "gait" you refer to, Icehouse? Or is it more of a "limp"?
ANYWAY...
So, today my feet are worse than ever. Left foot is completely numb, not even any tingling. My knees are incredibly weak and wobbly as well. I barely got through half an hour at the grocery store - I was afraid I was going to fall over!  I am hoping beyond hope that this is just a bad day and tomorrow I'll be back to a "good" day and get some of that slight feeling back that I had yesterday. I'll report back tomorrow but hopefully in the meantime I will hear from some of you about the good day/bad day thing. |
Hi there,
Through reading a lot of threads/posts I find numbness is often transient. It can come and go and it generally seems to resolve itself. I have been 50% numb at times and sensation always came back. One thing I learned to distinguish was actual numbness from a feeling of numbness. So in essence the numbness was superficial. I still had feeling in my arms/legs but the skin felt numb. This is a very good sign that sensation will come back.
