What Causes Numbness, Tingling Sensation In Right Foot Of A Diabetic Patient?
I have some numbness and tingling in my right foot. I had a facet shot in my spine on my right side this morning. I m also diabetic but my A1C is consistently between 5.6-5.8. Is this a diabetes issue or as a result of the procedure I had done today?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to diabetic neuropathy. I suggest using noninflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day which you can find over the counter. If the symptoms continue you can take a prescription painkiller such as Gabapentin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
