How Can numbness And Tingling In The Lower Legs Be Treated?

I was having numbness and tingling in my feet and lower legs a couple months ago. My doctor said it was too much vitamin B. I ve stopped taking it and the numbness went away. Just now walking my dogs the numbness was back. I do have relapsing MS but it hasn t been a problem. What else could have these symptoms? I am about to turn 60, female and good weight.
