Question
I woke up to a feeling that my legs where on fire. I reached down and could not feel them. This started in January. It is the worst at night. The burning has lessened and the numbness has become less frequent, but still bothers at night and when I sit. My feet have become very fatigued after work-which has never happened before. I am 28 years old.

Answer
Hi Leah,

What you described may be pointing to circulation or nerve condition.  I would recommend for you to have a complete check up just to rule out serious conditions.  You can visit a chiropractor's office or medical office.  If you have diabetes or a family history of diabetes, then it might be a concern to have the legs be examined.
