I took my Mom to the doctor yesterday. Their checkout system really needs to be revamped. It takes a lot of standing to make all the appointments. Then you have to go to Wendy's for lunch, stand in line there, and then take her home. She lives in a retirement home so there are a lot of ramps to accommodate the power scooters. So my foot was pretty beat when I got home. There also is a band around the fourth toe on the right foot. If it were just the pain in my left leg, I would cancel my appointment since the pain is almost gone. But I think I'll keep it due to the other leg. But I don't know what term to use about the leg.

When I've had numbness in my hands, it's kind of like wearing a rubber glove...or several rubber gloves. Tight ones.
Numbness in my feet or legs is kind of like wearing very tight stockings, or maybe sometimes like wearing a wetsuit. I can feel the sensations of something touching me, but just cant quite feel everything.
Sometimes it feels like I'm wearing boots that are too small for me, that have sheepskin lining in them. Not exactly a disturbing sensation, but it gets annoying at times.
