My feet have been numb since yesterday morning, any ideas of what it could be?
So, yesterday morning, I went to scratch my foot, and noticed that I couldn’t feel it! I can feel it, but not on the surface (of my skin). It’s totally numb. It’s only on the top of my foot, towards the outer edge. And it’s not affecting my walking at all, or foot movement. I also noticed, yesterday afternoon, that my other foot had the same thing going on, to a lesser degree. They aren’t swollen or a different color, although, for the past few days I did notice that they looked a little red (but it’s so cold out and I’ve been wearing flats and high heals without socks, so I chalked that up to the weather), but now they’re a normal color again.
I have both of my feet tattooed but I wouldn’t attribute anything to that. One is a year and a half old and the other is 6 months.
I have a sort of odd diet, as well. I wouldn’t go as far as to call it an EDNOS, though. Sometimes I eat normally, sometimes I eat the same thing for weeks on end, and sometimes I don’t eat at all. OK, so it sort of is, but I’m figuring that out on my own. Also, recently I went from a vegetarian diet to a vegan one. So my eating habits have changed drastically, and I know how they can affect every aspect of your body.
When I exercise (this only happens when running, or jumping jacks, jumping rope, etc. . . basically anything that puts my entire body weight on my legs), I get a weird pain in my shin. On the side, sort of like a cramp but it’s so pinpointed and stabby-achy I know it’s not. This has been going on for a while, though, and I haven’t thought much of it.
I used to get huge migraines when I was in highschool that made me sick, but I haven’t had one in a while, but even when I do, it’s usually when I’m stressed out (and midterms are over, so I know it’s not that, and I might lose my job thanks to the economy but it’s a part time gig, so I’m not sweating that and on the relationship front, I don’t even care right now, haha). But yesterday, I got such a bad headache at work that I could barely drive home (it affected my eyesight (I need glasses to drive anyway though)) and then I got home and my headache was so immense that I almost vomited. I fell asleep around 11 probably and woke up around 9. . .. I usually only get a few hours of sleep (because of school and work) but 10 hours is still a really long time! After I woke up, I feel fine.
While I’ve been working the last few days (I’m a cafe barista), I’ve noticed that I can feel my heartbeat below my thumb, and even see it pulsating.
So, basically, everything I wrote I think could be relevant. I’m on the brink of being 21 (3 weeks) so I’m not at an age where it’s normal to have these issues and I’m not obese or anything. I wear the same shoes I’ve been wearing for months. My dad has diabetes, but not the genetic kind and he got diagnosed with it in the last few years.
So: Any ideas what it could be about?
Thanks!
P.S.-Sorry this was so so long!
