Q: painful tingling in arms and hands and somtimes feet,mostly at night, but may stay all day

hi I have had for the past 6 months feelings of tingling and numbness at the bottom of my feet and now recently for 2 months in my hands and arms .It has become painful at night when I am resting as the cold or hot sensations sort of go up and down my arm till they reach the wrist or elbow. At times I feel the same sensation for a minute in my inner thigh or under the arm pit or parallel to the spine at the right shoulder and neck...I sit slouching usually and I am double jointed and dont exercise much and i have had 2 surgeries recently, i dont know if this is related or not but i wish i could go back to how i felt before these symptoms....any answers would help , thank u for your time.

hi linda i am not a doctor but thought i could give you a couple guesses that you could take to your doctor and have him look more deeply into. It sounds to me like this could be blood clots ( i have them in my legs with the symptoms you describe)and i dont know your age but i was 21 when i got the diagnoses so don't let that discourage you or your doctor from looking at this possibilty or it could be diabetes, my mother in law had those symptoms and thats what caused her to go to her dr. and find out she had it. Hopefully these help you to take some kind of direction in finding out whats going on ! GOOD LUCK and hope you find a answer soon.
