Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Pins And Needles On Left Side From Face To Toes. Any Ideas?
I have pain and pins and needles on my left side from face to toes. No chest pain or sharp pains but very uncomfortable. It is making breast feeding difficult. Any ideas in what this could be and if you think there is anything that requires emergent treatment? I have had similar symptoms in the past but no diagnosis. It is worse this time
I am sorry to inform you this, but this is some kind of a neuropathy and could be caused by a number of conditions. This should not be ignored, and you should consult a doctor at the earliest. Please consider this an emergency.
Instead of asking any further questions and awaiting your reply and as you have had a similar presentation even before, this cannot be attributed to any recent developments (like your pregnancy, weight gain, or delivery). Please consult a neurologist who will best diagnose your condition and treat you for it. I cannot comment on any other symptoms or conditions that can cause this, as it is best to thoroughly examine and investigate you to find the cause. For this, you should and will have to visit a doctor without further ado.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.
Best wishes.
