Question

Question

I know people here are not doctors but I was wondering if anyone has had anything like this happen to them. So was sitting down the other day and lost all feeling from waist down not pins and needles it was as if the lower part of the body was just turned off I needed to pick up my legs with my hands and straighten them then it was like they just turned back on I did have a bad pain in lower back after though and had trouble walking for a while but ok now back to walking around and mowing the lawn and stuff.

Re: Question

I 100% think that its not as bad as what you think it is 🙂 because if you are like me you would have gone straight to the worst thing it could be.

Most likely its something very benign..

Sitting at a desk too long, getting a little older, not stretching properly or standing too much...

But get it checked out for sure just to be careful....

Re: Question

No doubt age has a part to play but it's more the physical work that sets it off these day and it seems to be happening more and more. Driving me nuts
