A member asked:

Why do my arms and legs go numb and and hurt if i bend them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a neurologist: It is unusual to get numbness in all limbs on bending but possibility could be pinched nerves on bending. Peripheral neuropathy can also be considered. You may need ncv/ EMG test.
