I've, Become So Numb
Posted May 10th, 2005 by Court Sullivan
...I can hardly breathe.
No, that would be the opening to an angst-ridden high school sophomore's 1AM LiveJournal entry. (Thanks for handling those guys Linkin Park, you've spared many the trouble.)
No, I have a physical numbness. Specifically, a 3 inch x 3 inch section of my skin from the bottom of my right kneecap down. It's as if I've been given a local anesthetic that won't wear off.
You know how when you have a sore throat and you break down and spray that god awful Chloreseptic in your mouth, and then wish you hadn't because your tongue is numb for hours? That's how this area below my knee has felt for three DAYS. The weird thing is, I have no idea how this could have happened. No injuries, drunken mystery bruising, shin fights, sicknesses, spider attacks, lower-knee performance enhancers...nothing.
I'm giving it another two days before I go to a therapist and casually explain that my knee and I have drifted apart recently and would like to work on saving our relationship.
Until then, I guess I'll take up a position that's traditionally hard on the knees and work mega overtime. Anyone have any suggestions? (This should be good.)

Shut up and stop complaining. Could be much worst. Don't be a pussy!
You're right, I suppose I could be paralyzed from the pinky toe down.
That would be much worst.
Well - it's July 12th 2006 now. How did it resolve? I imagine it's something to do with nerve damage or brain damage (stroke?) - but you look to young/fit for a stroke. Did you consult your doctor and obtain a satisfactory outcome?
Hope all is well.
Hey,what does this idiot mean stop complaning? I too am having a misunderstanding with my left knee and it is very annoying!! Like you I have no idea why it is no longer speaking to me but when I touch it it feels like it took an overdose of novicain. Perhaps it needs an intervention? Any word on what was causing yours? I would love some ideas!
