What Causes Feeling Of Numbness, Pins And Needles In Ankle And Foot?

I have a feeling of numbness and pins and needles in my left ankle/foot. Coincidentally, I started on 13mcg of tyrosint about 5 weeks ago and this seems to be right around the time that I started having this problem. My doctor doesn t think there s any connection since she feels I would get this sensation in my right foot/ankle as well. I m waiting for your reply - thank you.

HI
Well come to HMC
I really appreciate your concern, such symptoms of course not due to any medicine that you are on but this could be due to some nerve compression try to maintain good posture this would be fine, second this could be nonspecific still you need to wait for some time this would be fine soon, hope this information helps, take care.
