Hi I wondered if anyone could help. For the past few days my left lower arm has felt very heavy almost like it's 'dead'. Now I've found over the last couple of days my left leg feels the same too. Anyone know what causes this and how to stop it, it's very uncomfortable especially at night in bed. Many thanks in advance. Cheers everyone :-)

See your GP and get yourself check out. Don't know how old you are but it could have been caused by some kind of neuological misfunction and such signs shouldn't be ignored.
Hi missmuppet get yourself along to the doctors,today. just to make sure there is nothing serious going on.

Hi wendys I'm almost 40 and already taking loads of tablets, currently suffering from depression, anxiety attacks. I feel that everytime I go to the docs(every 2weeks at present) there's something else I have to ask about. I feel a bit of a hypo and so was hoping someone might be able to help without asking the doc about something else. There is a really bad history of heart disease in the family but my blood pressure and cholesterol are both fine.

Hi lilacben, just been to the doctors this afternoon. Apparently it's an inflammed nerve which is causing the dead feeling in my arf and leg. She's prescribed me some painkillers and anti inflammatries (sp?) Thanks so much for firstly taking the time to answer and for your concern today. I did what you said and booked an appointment straight away but you know how long it takes to get into the docs. Take care and thanks for thinking of me. Best wishes missmuppet x
