Question:

I have been having numbness in my right leg from my but cheek down to my toes for a few days and now today it is starting to go into my arm, it feels like its frozen and tingling. Just wondering if anyone has had these symptoms and can tell me whatg it might be. I am post op rny june of 07 and have lost 125lbs.

If you post RNY anti-inflamatories are to be avoided. I would suggest a
visit to your MD not a phone call. He cant examine you over the phone

i had rny 3/04 and have the same numbness as you mention. now both hands,
fingers, and i am told it can happen because of inadequate vitamin-mineral
intake. i agree, but even with normal blood chem's i have discovered its
more common than not- and frankly i hate it. numbness includes burning
pain and tingling. its going on 5 years and there has been no change. i
have lost 230 lbs. Cindi

I would recomend a consult to a neurologist. I had numbness on my left leg
for months but it went away and at no point did it radiate to my arm or any
other body part. Good luck.

Vitamin B12? The RN who leads our support group has said that B12 is
important in keeping the numbness and tingling away. I'd ask your MD,
however.

I would either get a same day emergency appointment with my doctor or go to
an urgent care center or emergency room.

I would definitely GO to your DOCTOR. B12 might be an answer but I would
definitely listen to my docs. Primary care, surgeon and any referrals.

wow I thought it was just me.. I kept telling my nurses and they said it
was because I was in bed too long... I have my follow up appt. with my
Surgeon in a few days and I am definitely going too tell him about it.. i
thought this numbness would go away. its just on my right thigh it doesn't
hurt unless I move all of a sudden but it is definitely annoying and
uncomfortable.
