Suggest Treatment For Severe Numbness In Hands And Legs
I have numbness in my arms and hands from top to bottom and occasionally my legs from top to bottom, harder to breathe. I have degenerative discs in my neck and back. When I have these episodes it feels like someone is squeezing my arms really tight like a blood pressure cuff when it is to tight.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to neuropathy.
I suggest using an anti inflamamtory medication such as Ibuprofen to releive the symptoms.
Some other suggestions are;
Apply cold compresses or wrapped icepacks to numb legs and feet for 15 minutes .
Massaging numb legs and feet helps improve blood flow and may reduce symptoms.
Exercise daily.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
