Guest guest Posted February 7, 2000 Report Share Posted February 7, 2000 As far back as I can remember after I was diaagnosed with CMT, I felt numbness in my feet - after being on them for any length of time. Then in college, I had numbness in my arms. I say " had " because I don't have it anymore, except if I am on my feet too much.Once I sit down and do something sedentary, the numbness dissappears. With my arms, I would hold them up above my head, and the numbness would go away. My CMT symptoms come and go - always have.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 It's very normal, and your question is probably either the no. 1 or no. 1 everybody asks -- how long? for either numbness or swelling. For some people, the numbness goes away pretty rapidly. For others, it can take months, or even years. If you start getting " stabbies " " itches that can't be scratched " or burning -- all can be good signs that healing is under way. Good wishes to you.
