That being said....there are tons of things that could cause numbness and tingling in your hands or feet or anywhere else on your body. The absolute best thing to do is to go to your doc and get evaluated. They can rule out things or rule in things and it's much better then getting ideas from us (our experiences) as they may not be anywhere close to what is going on with you.
