Stiff Joints & numbness?

Post by GARYS »

I'm not sure if this paticular problem is related to chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome or not, so I figured I would ask. This has been happening pretty frequently lately and I not sure if I should be concerned. I know everyones legs, feet and hands "fall asleep fromm time to time, but lately my legs in paticiular have been doing this a lot lately and more than just tingling for a minute or two until I guess the blood flow returns. I'm talking about not being able to walk for a few minutes withiut holding on to something, no feeling at all. I could hit my foot with a hammer and not feel it. Is this something I should get checked out? It seems to be in one leg each time and this is also an area where my muscles are very tight always. I do a lot of toe touch stretches but they still stay tight. Just wondering if this is something I should investigate further or if its just another part of this condition.
Thanks
