Puzzling symtpoms: Skin Tightening on the Arms and Legs, Num Posted: 04-10-06 05:54am
My symptoms seem to have my doctor
puzzled. The symptoms are:
Skin tightening on lower parts of arms and
legs leading to numbness in upper parts of
the limbs.
Slight contraction of the throat, and a
sensation of a weight on the diaphragm.
Also tender feet after walking for a few
hours.
You can request an X-ray image of the
vertebral column to search for spondylotic
changes of the vertebras and disks.
Spondylotic changes can create pressure on
the spinal nerves’ roots. This pressure
can causes itching, tightening, numbness
or weakness in the limbs.
