What Causes Numbness In Fingers Along With Tingling In Legs And Feet?

Hi, I am female, 52yrs old. Recently I have been experiencing tingling in my legs a d feet, last Friday I woke up with numbness in my left pinky finger and the one next to it, I am also extremely thirsty all the time, like drinking 4 to 5 16oz bottles of water per day and of course having to go to the bathroom very often and as soon as I empty my bladder I need more water. Another symptom is tiredness, I feel like the wind is knocked out of me and I just need to sit and recover some energy to go on

Hi.the

Numbness like that may be due to two causes generally. One any diabetic condition or any compression on the nerve because of intervertebral disc space reduction.

Your tiredness, frequent urination and thirst indicate in favour of possible diabetes. Pl. get blood sugar levels checked. Also, if sugar excluded , intervertebral disc problem in the cervical region may be excluded.

Medicine for numbness and pain if any may be common. But exact diagnosis is important to check disease from progressing further.

Hope you get proper hint for further action.
