Thank you for the Answer Doctor. I am not sure why I am feeling the tingling both feet lately, is there a way to fix the nerve compression ?
I had a knee pain and I did hot and cold while I took shower. So it helped with pain and I changed the shoes and it helped me get rid of the tingling on my feet.
I have head aches now and last night I slept only 5 hours or so. I am not sure what is going on. I am not sure if there is anything needs to be concerning.

Brief Answer:
Anxiety appears to be the reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for being in follow-up.
As I said, your symptoms are all non-specific, probably related to anxiety or some depression.
There does not appear to be any organic cause of the same.
Lack of sleep obviously causes headache, there is no big point in that.It is 'Stress headache' which is the most common form of headache worldwide.
You just need to do mental relaxation exercises and you will be fine.
Hope that helps.If you have further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
