physical grumps

[anotheranon]

Not complaints exactly, just concerns:

• My feet and hands go to sleep at the drop of a hat - not from sitting on them or elevating them either. With my hands, it might be carpal tunnel but I have no explanation for my feet, especially considering more exercise = better circulation than I've ever had before. Some snooping on WebMD suggested it might be a lack of B vitamin so I'm going to supplement and see if that helps.
  
  
• My right knee is sticky - not painful, just a bit stiff sometimes. This is definitely fencing related as it's worse on days/mornings after practice. Not sure whether to rest it or exercise it more.

Someone on my f-list is recovering from a serious B-vitamin deficiency, and she had similar symptoms (hands and feet going to sleep/getting numb). Trying supplements for a bit is probably a really good idea.

I'm going to give them a couple of weeks and see if there's an improvement. If it turns out to be a vitamin B deficiency I'd love to know what's causing it - I've been eating extremely healthily of late.
