Numbness in my ankle?

[TheDuckCrew]

For the past few days, I have experienced increasing numbness on the right side of my right ankle. A few days ago, I told my boyfriend so he tried pinching it. I did not notice what he was doing until he pointed it out to me several moments later. It has been spreading more and becoming more numb everyday. I believe it is because I must squat for an hour or two everyday to clean my duck house. (We weren't thinking when we made it, so it's only about 3 feet tall). While I was cleaning the other day, my left foot was hurting from being in such an uncomfortable position but I could not feel my right foot at all. I feel like this is a very bad sign. I would stop cleaning the duck house, but with 14 ducks, they make a mess and if I don't clean it everyday, it gets outta hand. What should I do? Is there anything I can do?

Please help. I'm extremely nervous.

The nerves throughout the body run through your vertabrae. You probably are pinching a nerve in your lower back, thus numbness at the end of the nerve. Go see a chairopractor for a back adjustment, & I bet the numbness will cease. I have had back problems for years, & foot numbing is one of many of my symptoms. Good luck.

Can you go see the doctor? My bet is on a pinched nerve somewhere. Another question though...is there a history of diabetes in your family?
