I have pins and needles in my feet and a bit of numbness, also numb on part of right thigh. Recently my face, right hand side, has started to get numb too. What's happening? I also tend to sort of want to fall over towards my right side but this is no problem really when I can see, only when I go up in the middle of the night for a wee. Oh, I drop things too. And then the tinnitus of course
After first asking my GP about it, starting with numbness in feet year before last and in the last six months actively tried to get some proper help or at least get it evaluated by someone knowledgeable I have now been referred to a neurologist and a nerve conduction test. The neurologist want me to have the test first, fair enough. But it's a three months waiting list for have the nerve test done. When I heard this I decided to break down a bit. The lab can't help my local GP surgery is the pits and have been for almost a year but still, you'd think someone somewhere would say Feet numb and hurting? That's bad, we'll try and sort you, wouldn't you?
Yesterday I asked for a print out of all notes made in the last year to see where it went wrong. I mean to make a complaint.
Before my right hand side goes completely numb.
