I am having tingling bordering on numbness in my legs and feet. I have had hot feet on and off for several years. The tingling now happens whenever I sit. I has been occurring for about 5 days. I had a T12 compression fracture about 2 years ago, so it may be related to that. My question is - what specialty of doctor should I visit? Orthopedic? Rhuematologist? Pain specialist? Interventional spine?
HelloYour symptoms may suggest nerve involvement in lumbosacral region. You may need clinical correlation and few investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, serum calcium and vitamin D level, thyroid profile, X-ray of L/S spine (AP/Lateral view), MRI of L/S spine. It is important to assess nerve compression etc. I suggest consulting neurologist. Its treatment may be both conservative of surgical. It depends upon clinical evaluation and investigation report.
