Numbness on outside of foot and ankle

Ugh, has anyone else experienced numbness or tingling on the outside of their foot and ankle lately? It's been bugging me for weeks now.

At first I just thought I slept on it weird or it was from wearing tight socks. But the numbness/pins-and-needles feeling keeps coming and going, mostly on the outside of my left foot and up around the ankle area. It's annoying and kind of concerning!

I've been trying to stay off it, do some gentle stretches, and wear looser shoes in case it's a nerve getting pinched. But I can't seem to get rid of the numbness completely.

The nagging worry is - is foot numbness dangerous or a sign of something more serious? From what I've read, occasional numbness isn't necessarily an emergency. But if it persists or gets worse, it could potentially point to nerve issues, poor circulation, or other underlying conditions that need treatment.

Part of me wants to haul it to the doctor soon, especially since it's been ongoing for a while now. But I'm also hoping it's just a fluke that will go away fully with some rest and massage. I'm scared they'll tell me I need scary tests or treatments!

Has anyone had experience with numbness on the outside of their foot/ankle area specifically? What did you do about it? I'd love to hear your stories and any advice for getting this properly evaluated or treated if it doesn't resolve soon. Nerve issues are no joke!

idk if it's unpopular or just nobody's considered the concept or maybe i am just too fond of medical knowledge but one of my takes is, if Arthur remains blind when John gets his own body his left hand to the elbow and right foot that John used to control are somewhat numb. It's a lot like when your legs fall asleep, a warm cold feeling, but no pinpricks and you can move them but not as coordinated or presise. More important to note however is this means if Arthur gets hurt in these places it is incredibly hard to notice, any should be pain is far away and feels like vague pressure. It seems and likely seemed small. There is a good chance Arthur would not even bring it up because he thought in a couple days that turned into weeks that maybe he was imagining or it'd go away on its own, but like leprosy thats how it does the most damage. And of course being blind doesn't help and it starts becoming scary. In the right time of year or being on the job, most people who don't experience pain rely on the sight of blood, a bruise, something visual, but how do you know youre bleeding if it feels no different from the sweat that drips down your neck and back? And if youre wearing particularly dark colors how many strangers are likely to notice if your sock takes on a red hue before you notice a squelch when you step? Just like his eyes if Arthur even went to a doctor, coaxed into entering an office and being patronized for a lack of symptoms the most likely conclusion would be Psychosomatic. If he's lucky told stress, but more likely that it's all in his head (ironic in a way, yeah that thing in his head was named John and likely the one who brought him here but hes not in there now is he?). But even if thats the issue being in your head doesn't mean you don't get bruises, cuts and scrapes. It means you don't stop putting weight on a foot when you step on an nail and it pierces far beyond the sole of your shoe. It means you might not notice a cut on your arm has become infected until you come down with a fever and the only thing you can say to explain yourself is "It didn't feel painful. I thought i was managing." the second half of that statement feeling like a lie because if anything you were drowning the moment you realized you could spend all day walking around and have no idea you were injured. It means at the end of the day even if you didnt want to be a bother, there is such a heavy comfort in someone rolling up your sleeve and making sure if anything is there that its cleaned, and bandaged. And maybe its also a comfort for them to grab that same hand and give a slow deliberate squeeze that your can't reciprocate but you can feel it, and know that one isnt hurting you. Anyways im rambling that's it thats the concept take notes, im telling you there is so much potential here. Im so normal about this concept

good lord absolutely no notes just everyone read this

Spoonies & new symptoms

Is it a new symptom of an illness I already have, or a different new illness?

Is a side effect of a new treatment? If so, which one?

*vaguely searches Internet*

Internet: "Call 911 now! Go to A&E!!!"

Me: I will choose to ignore it until it becomes a problem.

Tried to do a long run I missed this weekend but it was too hot and I was really unprepared. The new plan is 8 miles tomorrow.

The last few years, I can’t escape this cycle with climbing, where I get injured, I take a break to recover and then I slowly build back my strength, and just when I’m starting to feel like I’m getting back to the level I was at before, I get injured again.

finally went and got the pics of my lumbar spine for real this time

Anyone else like really bad at considering the consequences of getting medical procedures done? Like I went to the doctor for a severely ingrown toenail yesterday and they were like "we're gonna have to do toe surgery about it" and I was just like "sounds great doc cut her up 👍"

It wasn't until after the toe surgery was finished that I finally realized "oh fuck, this means I have to recover from toe surgery"

i am once again apologizing for my lack of activity/responsiveness

my childhood cat passed away a few days ago which has just been more stuff on top of everything else for me to deal with to stress me out and upset me

i'll try to get back to stuff. Eventually. as soon as i can</3

Cats are great support animals for ptsd because they either hang out with you and ground you with snuggles or cause so much chaos that you're snapped out of whatever emotional spiral you're in to get them to stop eating Styrofoam for the 50th time

[redhotarsenic]

Many many irl things are happening at the moment that’s why I’ve been gone for so long terribly sorry for that 💀

I should probably be going to bed but I was thinking a lil abt recovery arc Clem and how he has a bit of an identity crisis due to the fact that his depression was a huge part of his personality/identity and in a weird way he found comfort in the misery and now that he’s bettering his mental health that sort of fog/misery funk he’s been in has been clearing up and now Clem is struggling a bit to figure out who he is/wants to be
