My wife has problems with numbness of her legs. this has been happening for a year. is this do to over weight?

Question

she is 314 pounds. and she does hair. i feel it has something to do with her heart and weight.

Answer 1

Hi. Could be several things such as a nerve/blood circulation problem etc. Do take her to a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Good luck!

Answer 2

I assume that it is her weight bro. or maybe she is a diabetic but i'm not a doctor so take her to see one PRONTO!!!

Answer 3

It's been happening for a year and she hasn't gone to a doctor yet?

It could be many things (cardiovascular problems, diabetes, or both).  Make her see a doctor.  No sense in waiting for the heart attack or diabetic leg amputation.

Answer 4

It sounds as if your wife has diabetes, and has developed Peripheral Neuropathy. I am diabetic and have this in both arms and legs. Through blood and urine tests the doctor can determine if she does have diabetes. But regardless of this, she needs to lose weight.

Answer 5

SOUNDS LIKE PERIPHERAL NERUROPATHY. SHE REALLY NEEDS TO SEE A DOCTOR TO CONFIRM THIS. THIS IS WHERE YOUR DONT GET ENOUGH BLOOD SUPPLY TO YOUR EXTREMITIES.
