PrincessMommy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) I woke up this morning with some odd stuff going on with my feet. When I woke up the arch on my left foot was in terrible pain. It's as if I had some kind of injury, but when I went to bed everything was fine. I have not injured it at all. But, it hurts really badly. Just before lunch as I was sitting as I normally do in front of my computer I noticed that my right food was freezing cold. So my left food was normal temp, but in pain and my right food felt like ice. I rubbed it and tried to warm it up. Now, several hours later and I've taken the dog for a walk, driven around, had my voice lesson, cooked dinner... basically been up and down. My right foot feels a little numb and it's still freezing cold (my arch still hurts too, but not as much). It's not as cold to the touch, but it has that freezing sensation. What the heck is going on??? Edited February 19, 2016 by PrincessMommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie4b Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 :grouphug: Sympathizing, but no wisdom to share! It sounds like a nervous system issue of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 :grouphug: Sympathizing, but no wisdom to share! It sounds like a nervous system issue of some sort. I would think I might have pinched a nerve, but nothing untoward has happened recently. No falls or trips or anything? :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 How is your pulse in that foot/leg compared to the other (check as many pulse points as you can find)? That is one thing they do to check for clots. I have had a pinched nerve in my toe. It wasn't painful at all, including while it was being pinched (which is why I didn't know it was being pinched). Just numb. It takes about one week per inch of nerve to regenerate. My toe came back eventually, but it will get cold or sizzly sensations at times when the rest of my toes and feet feel just fine.

Shellydon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Probably need to make sure you have good blood flow to that foot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how you pinched it? How was it diagnosed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Is it a different color at all? Does it feel cold to your hand when you touch it with your hand? Or just feels cold on the inside? Do you have any medical problems? Take any medications? (PM me with the answer if you'd rather). This is potentially serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel any colder than my other foot. It just has that cold sensation. I have Hashitmotos and take meds for that only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) OK. No biggie I don't think. Not sure why it would feel this way. Sorry if I alarmed you! No problem. I'm not too worried at this point. More dumbfounded than anything. Thanks for trying to figure out this puzzle with me.

Robin M Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 What medication are you taking? I started a new bp med and a few weeks later after It built up in my system, my fingers started going numb and turning white, freezing cold. Stopped the med and all back to normal in a couple weeks.

hmvaughan4 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Raynauds? It's also an autoimmune disorder, so it could be connected to your Hashimotos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to see what your dr. says. Mine went away today... or it hasn't been bothering me today. My arch was a little sore this morning, but it's also fine now too. Hopefully, it will never come back again. Edited February 19, 2016 by PrincessMommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
