I have had numbness in my fingers, hands feet and legs and more recently my neck and tongue. There seems to be a tingling sensation with it. I have been to me doctor several times and she claims it is anxiety. Seeing I had just lost my husband two months ago I believed he but it hasn't stopped and is getting worse. Usually there is pain and dizziness .
I am 33 years old and have never had anything like this before. I can't sleep very well as I keep waking up from the numbness.
Carpol Tunnel Syndrome has been linked to such symptoms but is concentrated in the hands and wrists which can make the whole arm feel numb. Feet can be affected too. It normally appears in people whose job requires the constant use of their hands ie: computers, physical labour, tennis weight lifting etc. This usually involves pain as well
