Dear patient
what is your age and what is the duration of your symptoms.This should be always mentioned. tingling and numbness In left foot may be due to local pathology in foot or due to pathology in lower spine. Are u having back pain ? if yes pssibility of disc prolapse is there. common peroneal nerve involvement at lateral aspect of knee may also lead to foot drop and numbness on foot. you said mri is done but did not mention for which area it is done? I mean foot or spine? your visit with neurologist is highly recommended. meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 at bedtime for relief.thanks.
