Suggest Treatment For Tingling, Numb And Painful Feet While On Zoladex Implants
Hi, I have been receiving Zoladex implants for a year and a half as part of the prostate cancer treatment, and a few months ago developed a numb heel and tingling foot. The numbness has reduced but the foot is still tingling and painful when walking. Is there any treatment that I could be receiving to reduce this problem ?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are medications that can be used to help with these abnormal sensations.
Medications such as lyrica, gabapentin, tegretol, amitriptyline- can be used to treat this type of discomfort.
Your doctor may want to image the spine to see if there is any evidence of nerve compression that may be contributing to your symptoms.
I hope this helps
