Have Transient Episodes Of Numbness And Tingling Feet, Pain In Heel

Hi, i dont want to overreact to this, but it's a bit strange. I have transient episodes of numbness and strange tingling in my feet and have figured this would just go away, but now i have a small area on my ankle that is completely numb with rough skin over it. Also i have a lot of pain on the bottom of my heel on one foot--this is chronic and has been a problem for months, despite trying everything to alleviate it. Are these symptoms something to be concerned abou?

Hi,

As you are not mentioning your gender, I'd assume if you were a women, and keeping high heels. If this is your case, I'd advise not to use high heels, orthopedic shoes are the best choice.

In addition, you are also not mentioning your age and if you are suffering of any other disease. This is to exclude arthritis or other skin conditions.

I suggest to consult your physician as soon as possible to get the right treatment after physical evaluation. If you can send a photo of your current health problems, and address to me, I'd be happy to assist you further.

Hope it helped!
