General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your problems with numbness in your body, especially in the morning, are indicating possible arthritis. Rheumatologist to consult further and to run arthritis testing.

Spinal cord problems should be also ruled out by neurologist and MRI of the spinal cord.

Get your electrolytes checked to rule out related deficiencies. For the moment, I can only suggest drinking plenty of water, with oral rehydration salts. Anti-inflammatory meds to take in the morning or at bedtime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
