What Causes Toe, Calf And Thigh Numbness With Feet Pain?

I have had numbness in my toes for several years that has evolved into a very painful condition if the front of both feet. I ve also noticed some numbness in other places like on my part of my right calf, left thigh and most recently my upper back on the left side. What could it all mean?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are developing neuropathies. You should get your lumbar spine x-ray and MRI done to look for lumbar spondylosis and any compression of spinal cord and nerve roots . You should investigate for Diabetes and thyroid as these may also cause neuropathies. Diacerine, glucosamine sulfate, neurotropics such as methylcobalamin and analgesics such as ibuprofen give relief. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
