My grandmother was diagnosed with MM about a month ago. Since then she has lost the use of both legs is bed ridden and is now has numbness in her right hand and foot. The doctors told her she would be back to herself in about a month. She has only had 2 treatments of radiation and her pain is unmanageable. She is 86 years of age.

# If other symptoms, including difficulty swallowing, voice changes of body weakness or numbness, this may indicate an underlying disease that is affecting the nervous system.

Hello everyone, ever since last Friday I did not get any sleep and my body was sore all over. Already I have been to the doctors 3 times already they said its anxiety. However, my issue is that when I try to lie on my left side of my body I feel nauseous, diarrhea and numbness all on that side. I have been getting sleep recently. I know there is no cure to severe anxiety but I want to know why am I getting these other symptoms? If any of you guys could help I would greatly appreciate it.

I like to know what is cause of the symptom. I had polio in my childhood and it resulted in paralysis of my left arm for over 3 months. It was acupuncture that saved my arm. But I wonder whether the numbness is related to that experience.

I am a baker and stress my arms daily with repetitive motion. Lately I’ve been having alternating pain and numbness in my wrist, hands, and shoulders. I don’t have health insurance, so I don’t want to pay several office visit fees going to the wrong type of doctor. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on and what type of doctor I should see?

I have started to notice some numbness in one of my toes recently. It has been numb for about 5 days now. What type of doctor should I go see regarding this issue?

I am not sure if it’s because I am developing a callus on the tip of my toe from wearing sandals all summer long or if it’s because my nerve is messed up.

Any suggestions as to what type of doctor to see? Thanks.
