What Can Cause Tingling And Numbness In The Foot?

I have had tingling and slight numbness in my left foot for several years. At times it swells a bit too. I have talked to my doctor, but he doesn t think i should be concerned. I was initially told I had gout, but I have read the symptoms and my situation seems to be different.

Hi,

You should rule out B12 deficiency and diabetes according to mentioned history. For that you should get investigated with serum random blood sugar estimation and serum B12 estimation. I suggest you to investigate with serum TSH estimation as well. The multivitamin tablet can be prescribed for you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
