Is it normal for a foot to be numb for 3hrs....?

ThisGirlPretty:

I don't think so o.o do you mean like if it falls asleep? @Vocaloid

katherine:

yeah, I can't feel it. At all.

ThisGirlPretty:

It was asleep for exactly 3 hours!?!?!

katherine:

YES, AND I'M FREAKING OUT

katherine:

Like, I tried walking on it slowly, but nothing. I feel nothing

ThisGirlPretty:

Try shaking it

katherine:

I did everything. I'm really feeling like this going to en up bad.

katherine:

end*

AngeI:

I had that happen to me before, where you standing on it or had something on it?

katherine:

No it feels very soft.. like very numb. ya know?

ThisGirlPretty:

Hmmm, did you try soaking it in warm water?

Bearclaws72:

Get the damn saw and tie a some shirt around your ankle

Bearclaws72:

Take a shot of alcohol and get at it

katherine:

a w e s o m e

RawlsK29:

Lol! @Bearclaws72

katherine:

do you think that the warm water will work?

AngeI:

I suggest cold

Bearclaws72:

Maybe you have shingles

ThisGirlPretty:

I think so, if that doesn't then I'd advise you to go to the doctors.

ThisGirlPretty:

Warm" Not cold

katherine:

No, it's not read, nor does it hurt or itch

katherine:

red*

RawlsK29:

Yes, i would soak it in Epsom salt. That works for me

AngeI:

Cold causes more or a reflex in the body than warm does

katherine:

mkay, well if the warm water doesn't work, I'll head over to the hospital.

katherine:

Thank you all :)

Bearclaws72:

No dont do anything just move it around and that will recirculate blood flow

ThisGirlPretty:

Dont do cold do warm WARM HELPS

RawlsK29:

NP(:

katherine:

WARM. GOT IT

Bearclaws72:

What the hell is warm water gonna do?

Allison:

If it's still numb after an hour, you should get it checked out just in case.

AngeI:

Warm water relaxes the body

katherine:

Exactly

AngeI:

cold should awaken the nerves

AngeI:

hence bring back feeling

ThisGirlPretty:

Try warm first katherine.

katherine:

wait wait wait. cold or warm? x'D

katherine:

you people are confusing me

Bearclaws72:

But you dont need relaxing -.-

Bearclaws72:

You need your foot to move again

ThisGirlPretty:

Try soaking it in warm water first, then cold.

katherine:

okokokoko, holddddd on, brb

Allison:

Yeah, warm. Cold is for bruises or something like that. She didn't break a bone or nothing. D:

Bearclaws72:

I would just slam it against a wall in all honesty

katherine:

@Bearclaws72 you always make my day

AngeI:

Bear does have a point x'D

katherine:

i love this

Bearclaws72:

Nice to know. Modern treatment is horrible dont take any medications . Try the water if that doesnt work give it more time and massage it a bit. Like I said that will recirculate bloodflow if that doesnt work then see a doctor. But dont take meds for that.

katherine:

and if they say to do so? what do i do?

Bearclaws72:

Dont just go with more massaging. If none of this works then take meds if you wanna take a risk I guess. But I assure you massaging will make the muscles better and make you feel your foot again.

Bearclaws72:

Im tired as hell anyone else? I mean we got a God damn crowd here

SkyVoltage43:

AngeI:
