Hi all,
I'm having this weird numb feeling on the surface of my right thigh, near the top. I only used to notice it when I would be getting a massage. That place would tingle and feel a bit numb, and a bit touchy or something when she massaged there compared to my other leg or anywhere else. I wasn't sure if it was a tiny pinched nerve (there is a small branch of a ventral spinal nerve that innervates skin sensation in just that spot), or if it was some body memory.At any rate, in the last few days, it's been getting a bit worse in that I feel it all the time now. And when I go from sitting to standing and take some steps, it now feels like there is this spot near the center of the almost numb area that is "pulling". It feels a bit like there was tape or something on that place and when I stand up it "pulls off." It's very very odd. Or maybe it feels like a tiny jolt of some kind? It's hard to describe. The numbish area is definitely the skin surface, and the pulling feels just below.
Any ideas? For the record, I take Nardil, Lamictal, Claritin, Fish oil, calcium, pre-natal vitamin (no, I'm not pregnant), magnesium, Synthroid, and a B-comp. (sheesh, that's a lot!). I also take milk thistle on occasion.
This has started happening long after I started on Nardil, and does not seem to be related to the dose. It also started before I recently added Lamictal.
I'm puzzled. And of course feel freaked by it, sort of.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
