Good Morning,
I am a 30 year old male who is slightly overweight. 6'2 225lbs.
I started to notice that my left foot was numb in January. I brushed it off and then 2 months later I realized it was still numb. There was and has always been ZERO pain.. it doesn't tingle or hurt or cause discomfort. When I touch the foot, it feels like it is leathery. I went to a podiatrist 3 weeks ago and he told me that I probably had a self-inflicted neuropathy. I was fine and happy until Tuesday.
On Tuesday I went for a checkup with my Primary Care Physician. I got my blood drawn and mentioned the foot being numb. He poked it a few times and I noticed it was feeling a LOT better. I went back to work and was happy that everything was getting better then I "thought" my face was tingling. Ever since that thought I have had HORRIBLE anxiety and everytime I think about my right cheek... it gets hot. It feels like my right cheek has a sunburn on it, when I stop thinking about it or I take deep breaths and relax it subsides but it is still there.
I know MS symptoms vary so much from person to person but in general... is a numb face with MS actually a tingly noticeable numbness? I read that numbness to the face is an early sign... how numb is the face? I don't know if my face is numb or just getting hot when I get nervous. It has been like this since Tuesday. It gets really bad when I focus on it and get anxious. My blood pressure rises and it gets hot. My cheeks have also both been rosy, but I feel most of the heat on my right cheek.
One other thing is 2 days ago I woke up and both of my hands were extremely numb and my jaw sore. Is this health anxiety taking over my body and stress causing all of this? I am constantly googling everything and freaking myself out badly. I cant stop thinking about it and I wake up every hour at night because I am so anxious.
Is a hot sunburn feeling face something that MS patients have regularly or is this anxiety and stress? Also how long is your face "numb" before it goes away?
I also got 4 unexplained stratches on my forearm yesterday that came out of nowhere. I was on my computer gaming, then I look down and 3 scratches are there. They have went away now.
Thank you all in advance... I am glad I found this forum.
