What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Hands And Feet?

I have been experiencing tingling in hands and feet that comes and goes since the beginning of the year. I also have periods of heat radiating from my body, especially my legs and lower extremities. At times, I have an internal feeling of heat and something I do not know how to describe. I described it to my doctor as a feeling of tension and abnormality. I had a nerve study test, all good. I have had labs, all good. I took 200 mg of gabapentin for awhile, and I am not sure if that helped or the problem subsided. I am feeling that way again, just need some advice where to go next. Thank you.

Hello,

I think, you are facing a small fiber neuropathy- in this NCS can be normal. And, it also explains the burning symptoms you have.

I would suggest you to continue the Gabapentin. I will also recommend testing the blood for FBS, ESR, CRP, ANA. A nerve biopsy may be needed.

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

Regards,
Dr. Saumya Mittal
