Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness of the feet in patients with Graves disease. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like alcoholism , diabetes , herniated disk
multiple sclerosis or sciatica . I would suggest you to keep your feet in hot water tub with epsom salt in tub , massage with almond oil gently and do not stand for long time . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like nerve conduction test and physical examination . Doctor may recommend physical therapy prescribe anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you ton endocrinologist for thyroid problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
