Muenkel 0 #7 March 29, 2005 QuoteThanks, Chris. But I'm going on 3 years now without health insurance. And I only go to the doctor if I'm broken or bleeding to death. Say that back to yourself while thinking of your symptoms. Does that make any sense to you? I'm not a Dr., but tingling in a limb for a week sounds to me like something circulatory. Since you have no insurance, you could go to the ER. I do believe they cannot turn anyone away. Maybe one of the .commers in the medical field will chime in.

ppgk 0 #9 March 29, 2005 I had this happen once to my arm.My doctor said it could have something to do with blood circulation but to give it a few days.It went away and I've never had it happen again. I hope you feel better!

I'm guessing you might recollect an imperfect landing or some other event that stands out. Tingling, numbness or losing a sense of feeling is associated with our nerves. It can be caused by nerves being pinched or damaged. Decreased circulation can go hand in hand in many cases. I can't think of any passages containing nerves in our body that don't have blood vessels traveling through them also. Sometimes those passages are joints or similar structures that also host tendons (muscle to muscle connections) and ligaments (bone to bone connections). When any of those structures become inflammed through the result of trauma, they can decrease the passage space enough to cause impingements or pinches or even tears. This could easily result in a numbness or tingling sensation. For the immediate future, I would recommend laying off skydiving or any other major physical activities until the problem subsides. I also suggest taking anti-inflammatories such as Advil or Ibuprofen. If you can isolate an area that you know is injured, ice would greatly help any inflammation too. http://my.webmd.com/drugs/mono-9368-IBUPROFEN+-+ORAL.aspx?title=IBUPROFEN+-+ORAL Search WebMd for symptoms and you'll find some useful info. You know how we always say talk to an instructor or get some coaching in skydiving? Well, it's definitely the way to go when it comes to your body. If the pain doesn't go away soon, you really should go see a doctor. There are clinics and alternate solutions that cost a little less. Good luck!
