hi i am 17 and i have been dealing with some medical issues concerning my high inflamitory markers in my blood for the longest time and recently have fallen in the shower due to a blacking out. Since then i have been having all my limbs fall asleep and upset stomachs. It s gotten to the point now where my local/current doctors don t know what else to do anymore, they have done all the tests humanly possible but still no answers and it has been 5 years.....i just want to live my life pain free. can you give any advice that might help?
hi! numbness of the extremities have lots of causes. however, in your case you had a history of fall and that "all test" have been done already with still no answers. numbness is actually cause by the following: 1. nerve compression. it could be in one limb or area like in cases of median nerve compression or could be both upper and lower extremity like in cases of herniated disk which results from degeneration of the disk due to aging process. 2. severe vitamin b12 deficiency. there are diseases and conditions that can result to vit b 12 deficiency, like crohns disease, alcoholism, celiac disease, or results from conditions wherein there is inability to absorbs vit b12. deficient vit b12 will result s to pernicious anemia. severely deficient vit b12 will results to nerve damage. 3. stroke
