Suggest Treatment For The Tingling And Numbness In The Legs And Feet

I am having tingling bordering on numbness in my legs and feet. I have had hot feet on and off for several years. The tingling now happens whenever I sit. I has been occurring for about 5 days. I had a T12 compression fracture about 2 years ago, so it may be related to that. My question is - what specialty of doctor should I visit? Orthopedic? Rhuematologist? Pain specialist? Interventional spine?

Hello

Your symptoms may suggest nerve involvement in lumbo-sacral region.
You may need clinical correlation and few investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,random blood sugar,serum calcium and vitamin D level,thyroid profile,X-ray of L/S spine (AP/Lateral view),MRI of L/S spine.
It is important to asses nerve compression etc.

I suggest to consult neurologist.
Its treatment may be both conservative of surgical .It depend upon clinical evaluation and investigation report.

Take Care
