What Causes Tingling, Numbness And Pain In Toes And Feet?

For 10 years now I have tingling in my toes, started with a tiny bit on my big toes, now it is in both feet. Numbness and painful, cannot wear regular shoes or do very much walking. I am 65 and I have been checked for diabetes many times, they say I may be pre diabetic, but I have had this much longer. What is your suggestion , I was told to have a EMG done.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling, numbness and pain in toes and feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy , vitamin B12 deficiency , multiple sclerosis , scleroderma , diabetic neuropathy , corns and calluses or stroke . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination Doctor may order blood test , nerve conduction test and take history . Doctor may prescribe nerve supplement like neurobion forte along with muscle relaxant . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for diabetes or neurologist for nerve dysfunction . For now put your legs in hot water tub with one spoon salt for 15 minutes daily .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
