Brief Answer:
Possible peripheral neuropathy due to following causes...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Before running into final conclusions, I need to know if:
- you have been tested for diabetes? liver? kidney? vitamins and minerals?
Such metabolic diseases should be ruled out first.

- do you drink alcohol regularly?
The chronic use of alcohol will also cause peripheral neuropathy with tingling sensation as in your case.

- any medication you take on regular basis?

The aim is to identify the cause to tingling first, and then, treating the underlying problem is the final treatment.

Looking forward to have the requested info in!
Dr.Albana
