What Causes Numbing Sensation In The Hands And Feet?
Question: i have intermittent numbing in my hands and feet. Thinking I leaned on them wrong but its becoming more frequent.
Brief Answer:
Could be peripheral neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, the most likely diagnosis could be peripheral neuropathy, where the nerves located in the skin get affected.
Evaluation would include clinical examination followed by nerve conduction tests. Common causes for this problem include diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid disease, all of which can be tested in blood tests.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
