I am a 40-year-old female. I m maybe 10lbs overweight max, my vitals are excellent, and I m very active. 3 months ago I woke up one morning with my right hand and fingers completely numb. Over a few days the numbness spread up my arm, and I had difficulties holding utensils and was unable to write with my right hand. My hand and fingers remain numb, sometimes there is also a shooting pain. I no longer have numbness in my arm, and I have complete mobility- no dropping items, and no difficulty picking up things. about 2 weeks ago, i began having periodic numbness in my left hand, along with occasional shooting pains in my fingers. Every once in awhile my feet are numb as well, and once or twice my face. I feel terrific otherwise, and this hasn t hampered my lifestyle. My aunt recently passed away, she had suffered from MS for 30 years, so that does concern me. I will be making an appointment with my doctor.
