So suppose one of your body parts goes numb (no, not that one), say something like part of your foot.
When the inevitable question — “How long have you had this condition?” — comes up, what’s the answer?
Seriously, I noticed this afternoon that the outside of my left foot is numb: not like it’s asleep with that prickly sensation, just numb. I suspect it has something to do with my 18 mile bike ride yesterday, but I’ll see how it is in the morning.
No, I don’t know how long it’s been like that. It is the same foot where I broke my fifth metatarsal 6 years ago (on my son’s 2nd birthday) and it really hasn’t been quite right since.
