Question 1

can an ulcer cause a weird numbness in the arms and legs?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: If it is stomach ulcers you are referring to, this would be a very unusual complaint.  I suppose if you had a severely bleeding ulcer or were profoundly anemic it could cause such symptoms but this would be atypical.

Question 2

bruises in my arms and legs.  tongue has ulcers that dont cure. pain in joints, fingers and feet.  immflamation pelvic area, legs c3 11.69 c4 normal.

Accepted Answer

Arthritis , bruising: I Recommanded an evaluation by a Theumatologist for evaluation  and treatment . Further testing may be needed . Take care .

Question 3

what causes numbness of the arms and legs?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common cause of numbness in the hand on the thumb side.  Cubital tunnel syndrome causes little finger numbness.  If both of the entire hands and feet are numb, then a peripheral neuropathy is more likely.  This can be related to long standing diabetes.  This problem needs to be worked up by a physician.

Question 4

what would cause numbness and tingling n ur arms and legs?

Accepted Answer

Many things: One thing is a peripheral neuropathy,  but that usually starts in the feet,  later gets into the fingers.  It's not really arms and legs,  but more a "feet then hands" kind of thing.  Certain meds can do it,  too.  Discuss with your doc if persistent and/or worsening.

Question 5

is there a reason why i lose/cut circulation in arms and legs really very fast?  have to change positions quickly bc can feel numbness coming on

Accepted Answer

Circulation: Numbness is not necessarily the result of poor circulation. It's unusual to have circulation problems involving both arms and legs unless you have some sort of systemic vascular disease such as vasculitis which is quite rare. Numbness can occur after assuming body posture that may temporarily compress the nerves/arteries but that quickly goes back to normal after you move.

Question 6

could wellbutrin (bupropion) cause numbness in arms and legs while sleeping?

Accepted Answer

Paresthesias: Paresthesias can occur with use of wellbutrin (bupropion).

Question 7

can a virus cause sfn or can it cause symptoms that mimic it? i had a virus in jan and have had numbness, weakness and tingling i. my arms and legs. had emg done and results are normal. it isnt painful just more tingling/weak.have put rules ms also?

Accepted Answer

: Ebstein-Barr Virus can be associated with a large fiber motor neuropathy called Guillain-Barre Syndrome.  But it would be unlikely for any known virus to cause an isolated small fiber neuropathy.  An EMG study would not be appropriate to exclude this type of nerve disorder, as a skin punch biopsy would be needed.  Seriously doubt MS would explain your symptoms.

Question 8

can a slipped disc in neck cause numbness in my face, arms, and legs as well as leg weakness and altered gait and trouble walking?

Accepted Answer

See a physician: This sounds like something that needs to be looked at. You don't get facial numbness from a slipped disc or a herniated disc. Unlikely that symptoms would include the arms and legs as well as altered gait to the point of having trouble walking. This should be evaluated very soon by a physician.

Question 9

i keep having numbness and tingling in my arms and legs. i've been tested for m.s. and it came back negative. any other thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Numbness: Are you anxious are feeling a lot of stress. The most common cause of numbness of hands and feet is anxiety with or without hyperventilation. Hyperventilation, repeated deep breaths, can occur in some people who just sigh a lot. If the numbness or tingling is constant and progressive, you need to see a doctor to evaluate for spinal cord or peripheral nerve problems (rare).

Question 10

im having pain all over along with numbness and tingling in my arms and legs what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: It could be a large number of things. See your doctor.
