Hi Everyone,
I guess I am new to the forums so hello and thanks for reading my post. Sometime ago, perhaps 1.5 years now, something happened to cause a patch inside my lower right leg almost into the ankle area to go numb. Now, when I get overheated or over do it the numbness comes on.
It's not the "outside" so if you touched my leg I can feel your hand, but rather the inside of the leg. I feel almost like I am dragging my leg and if you put a needle inside that I wouldn't feel it. I have no idea what first brought this on. So even getting over heated cleaning my house brings will cause this numbness. The problem is, I am afraid whatever first caused this is going to cause more damage if I keep getting over heated. Does that make sense? I feel like I can't even leave the house anymore in the summer because the heat will cause the numb patch.
I ride a motorcycle and last year I hardly left my house in the summer because I'm so afraid of this stinking numb patch getting "bigger" and eventually making my whole leg numb. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Sorry, I'm just mad because it came on again this weekend after doing some spring cleaning and well...dang it all. Lee
