Numbness and tingling are two of the scarier symptoms people might deal with. With that said, it is important to note exactly what they are – symptoms. If you’re dealing with a loss of sensation or feeling in any part of your body, it is happening for a reason, and it is imperative that you get it checked before the impingement causes permanent damage.
All types of numbness are typically brought on by the pinching, damaging or irritation of one’s nerves. The reason for that impingement, however, can vary significantly from person to person, especially because people have different levels of nerve sensitivity. Some of those reasons include:
Alcoholism
Diabetes
Disk injuries
Lyme disease
Multiple sclerosis
Spine injuries
Strokes
Vitamin deficiencies
Tumors (in rare cases)
It is very common for people to fall asleep on their arm and to then lose feeling for a few minutes. It is not common to deal with a numbing sensation for days on end. If your numbness has not dissipated within 24 hours of first occurring, you should absolutely see a specialist who can diagnose your condition and get you the treatment you need.
The pain management doctors at Oklahoma Pain Treatment Centers specializes in treating numbness. For more information on how we can help you regain feeling in a drug-free manner, please contact us today.
