Hi Doctor I have question in reference to feet, I have noticed that the skin on ONE of my feet feels weird almost like a numbness, I was reading about people that have thyroid cancer and had it removed over 7 years ago, could I have developed issues on my feet (circulation) ... I don t have diabetes, have been tested about a month ago, I am trying to get pregnant so my doctor ran all kinds of tests that is why I know this.
Hello, I have studied your case, Canal stenosis leads to numb sensation in feet. Central disc bulge also can lead to feet numbness. MRI spine will help in diagnosis of both causes. Another possibility of numb feet can be peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes, alcohol, hypothyroidism etc. Blood work up and EMG-NCV [nerve conduction] study will help. For these symptoms methylcobalamine and neurotrophic medication like amitriptyline can be started consulting your doctor. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
