Hello, I'm new here, I've been suffering from back pain for the last 5 years and drinking became my main pain killer. My back feel much better and I don't drink a lot anymore but I noticed that the day after I drink, no matter if it's a lot or not, my hands and forearms feel numb. I've never been diagnosed of diabetes before but I think that this seem like a good reason to see a doctor.

Do you guys have any clue about this? Which kind of doctor should I see?

See your GP. It could be a lot of things and we're not supposed to give medical advice here. If you search for you symptoms here I'm sure you'll see a lot of folks that have had similar. Good luck and welcome!

Yes, I definitely think you should talk to your dr.

talk to your doctor for sure, ive been going through the same stuff for weeks now 21 days sober. Slept last night I went and got some Benadryl for itchy skin crawls and sleep.

Thank you guys, I actually went to see a gastroenterologist last week, did some exams on friday which results will come tomorrow (blood, urine and abdominal echotomography). Last night numbness was gone, so I forgot and had 2 fingers of rhum and this morning the numbness was back.
Now I think I should see a neurologist.

Welcome to SR! Please see a doctor about this. It could be related to alcohol but it's best to see a doctor to find out for sure.
