What Causes Intermittent Tingling Sensation In The Feet While Having Arthritis And Stenosis?
Question: My feet ''tingle" from time to time, (almost daily) for short periods.
I have had Valve replacement ( AORTIC, MITRAL VALVE), and REPAIR of TRI-CUSPID VALVE two + years ago (Oct. 2015), and a Pace Maker Installed.
A doctor told me I have 'some' arthritis and stenosis. I'm also told by my Podiatrist, those conditions can cause tingling in the feet. I do NOT have Sciatica- nerve issues running down my leg. I also am over weight (220 lbs.5' 10").
WHAT DO THINK IS THE CAUSE OF THE 'TINGLING'?
thank you,

I haven't been diagnosed as having Diabetes, but due to my bloods, my Doctor told me I was 'near' the level for Diabetes, but do not have diabetes But that was 3-4 months ago. Maybe I should return for a blood test? Would that shed more light on my 'condition'?

Hello again...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, definitely you should go for a blood test for sugar evaluation as if that's the underlying cause then your tingling could possibly be controlled.
Kindly get an HBA1C test done.
