What Causes Vibrations In Foot And Ankle?
I am a 65 year old healthy diabetic (type 1) and recently had an episode of my foot and ankle feeling like vibrations were coming from the floor up to mid shin. I have some back problems so I took a mild muscle relaxer and the sensation stopped. Is this something I sould be concerned about?

Hi there
when standing up to walk after a long period of siting when can have these kind of symptoms whether diabetic or not. since it has disappeared I wouldn't worry about it. I would rather suggest a regular check of your feet for open sores and decreased sensation which are signs of a diabetic foot which needs urgent attention. Mean time just comfortable shoes and regular foot care.I hope this helps.
