What Is The Treatment For Numbness In Foot?
I am diabetic and have neuropathy. The top of my right foot is completely numb. Every once in a while I will get pins and needles but then it goes right back to being numb. I also recently fell and injured my knee on that side. I am not sure if that is relevant or not. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Dear sir
Numbness in the foot is most commonly caused in diabetes patient as a chronic complication which is called neuropathy.
Secondly It carries a high risk of sustaining trauma, injury and infection if not taken proper care.
Thirdly the treatment is to prevent the incidences of sustaining trauma. You can treat with vitamin b6 and b12 capsules per day or vitamin b12 injections.
Thanks
