I know that's not a very good description, but does that sound familiar?
I'm getting nervous because my symptoms seem to be changing a bit. The twitching has decreased a bit but these numb arms and legs are around more and more ( it's not patches on my arms and legs it's the whole limb) . Is this how real numbness starts?
If twitching starts to decrease is it a sign thAt the nerves are now completely dead?

The only consistent symptom may be the changes that occur. Some things last weeks,months, some come and go daily. I am fighting the weakness in my legs, they feel numb and heavy yet I also can feel the touch. I have given up Nicotine in an attempt to get better oxygen to my nerves. Don't have a clue if it will help but we all do whatever we think will help. Sometimes we do things that hurt the cause. I have been waiting on real numbness for over a year now. I do not worry about it so much now. My friends and PCP says to do deep knee bends but I have figured out for myself that the healing is dependent on nerve regeneration rather than weight-lifting. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
