What Does Numbness On The Hands And Feet Indicate?
Yes I gave Power Red at a Red Cross drive which is double the amount of red blood cells. That night I had sporadic numbness in my hand and foot on my right side. After a couple of days The numbness became permanent onthat side. I originally had numbness in my lip and mouth which went away after an adjustment by my chiropractor. Any ideas what this could be?

Hello,
First, numbness neurological cause and spinal cause should be ruled out. Neurological examination and x-ray done if needed.
Rule out vitamin B12 deficiency by serum B12 estimation, diabetes by serum random blood sugar estimation and thyroid problem by serum TSH estimation.
According to cause specific treatment given and consult physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
