Pain or numbness?

The head
the toe, big
joint grown, walnut, bruised
hamstrings taught, bowlike, years and years
back oooch, always
that's the normal day to day... no complaints
PAIN is normal. expected.  

Then one day... the tingle that resembles poison oak
is not.
It is phantom, tingling, then disappearing
a tiny circle of total numbness. Growing.
Alert! Alarm! Warning! Police! Doctor!
PT, XRAY, MRI... don't let me lose this pain. 
No pain? worse than pain.

 See the slip?  That's where my numbness comes from.
