What Causes Muscle Pulls And Tingling In Feet?

My feet feels like the muscles are puling in different directions. Then there is the tingling sensation, which now has the added discomfort of the sensation moving up my leg. It is now at my ankle like a rubber band tightly around it. Sometimes it feels like warm liquid flowing through my feet. Sometimes my feet feels wet. I do have a numbness/tingling below my waist from radiation/chemo treatment. Discomfort sitting sometimes. Feels like a pulling to bend my toes.

Hi
Thanks for writing
The burning sensation in your feet may be caused by any disease which interferes with the blood and nerve supply of the legs. Although many medical conditions can cause burning feet, Diabetes is the most common cause leading to nerve damage that is neuropathy.
In neuropathy, the leg nerves tend to become damaged first, at their furthest ends in the feet. This leads to tingling and numbness in the feet as well.
Do you smoke and take alcohol because there consumption may lead to burning sensation in feet.
Beside diabetes other common causes are-
Infection of foot especially fungus (athlete foot)
Chronic kidney disease (uraemia)
Vitamin deficiency (vitamin B12 and occasionally vitamin B6)
Alcohol abuse
Low thyroid hormone levels
Vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels)

My advice for you would be get following blood test done to find out the cause -
Fasting and after meal(pp) blood sugar test, Urine routine and microscopic test, Thyroid profile, Level of vitamin B12,Blood urea and serum creatinine level. Beside these blood test you need a physical examination so it is my advice to visit a local doctor.
.As far as treatment you may have drug pregablin under medical guidance beside vitamin B 12.
Take care and I shall be glad to answer any further query
