Topic: Numbness



  
 Numbness is a manifestation of abnormal nervous system activity - NeckSurgery.com
A common cause for numbness in the arms or legs, associated with back or neck pain, is a herniated disc that "pinches" a nerve where it exits the spinal column.
The irritation causes: pain to run down the arm, numbness to occur in the areas to which the nerve provides sensation, and weakness in the muscles that the nerve supplies.
The bone spurs may begin to press on the spinal cord or the nerve roots, and that pressure on the nerves in the spinal cord can cause numbness.

 Numbness and Tingling
The "pins and needles" sensation of tingling and the lack of sensation of numbness are usually the result of temporary nerve compression, most often affecting the hands, feet, and legs.
Tingling and pain in an isolated band, usually on the torso, are among the early signs of an attack of shingles, a painful condition caused by the same virus responsible for chicken pox.
When the main nerve to the leg (the sciatic nerve) is compressed by a herniated disk or other spine problems, the result is numbness and sharp pain in the thigh and leg.

 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Using an Experimental Bicycle Seat to Reduce Perineal Numbness
Numbness was most pronounced at the dorsal penis: Subjective sensation correlated with sensory testing in 12 of 14 subjects (86%) using the standard seat and 11 of 14 (79%) using the experimental seat.
Perineal hypoesthesia and the development of impotence may be two points on a continuum representing conditions with a common pathophysiology.
Initially, we were concerned that only a minority would experience numbness and that our sample size might be insufficient to evaluate perineal hypoesthesia.
