numbness and tingling in left leg and foot

Vitamin b-6 helps to slow down the progression of the neuropathy. I have had it for many years and my neurologist said b6 and vitamin b12. Were the best.

Hey same happened to me....went for the MRI reports were normal n blood tests too....with me it started with itching lyk a mosquito bite....n waht my doctor told me was that it is an allergic reaction to mosquito bite due to which my nerve were inflammatory n so she gave me an anti inflammatory medicine n one for neeve pain....i hope it works, i have been facing it since 3 days now n i too get really hot like my body is burning....gudluck yo u too hope u find dis useful😊

You posted and had many repiies but have not come back to us. Have you improved or got worse in the past year?

Hello guys,

I need some advice.

I have this numbness in my right side leg calf area front side. Its about a week now. What is the cause of this numbness? I have as well a occassional pain in my lower back sometimes and when I walk or do running I feel a pain in my feet. what do i need to do? Thankyou.

I have been reading these posts and I can recognize some of the problems presented. I have numbness and tingling on both my feet for more than 6 years, went to several doctors I have done all kind of exams blood tests, NMR´s to my column and head, tumor blood markers that came lucky me negative, 2 complete electromyography exams, on my feet, legs and arms and up to very recently no special indication why this was happening. In the past 3 months things got much worst and I started having this feeling coming up both my legs, a bit on some parts of my upper thorax and then to my face and lips. I went again to my neurologist and after another NMR on my column they discovered something very subtle was wrong with one of my vertebras that was causing this new phenomena, with probably pressure on some nerves, but nothing related to my feet, then I have done another electromyography now only to my lower part of my legs and  feet, by a neurologist specialized in this area in a University Hospital and he very quickly discovered that I probably have what they call Morton neuroma, a condition that you can see a lot on the net, that has a lot of the synthons I feel, except pain, because I do not feel any pain, but a lot of discomfort specially at night when I lay down and feel my feet touching the sheets, with this feeling of numbness and tingling that sometimes does not allow me to get to sleep. Next week I am going to do an echography to my feet to see if this is what I have and prepare for a good treatment afterword’s. Hope this has helped a bit some of you

Well. Im a younger 'patient' and i have been feeling the same thing, except for not in my foot. What will happen is that my knee will feel funny, for some strang reason, then below it will start to feel what some would say 'tingly' but not too bad, more like midly 'fuzzy'? Then it will slowly make its way down. But never all the way to my foot. 

I have the pain below my left knee to my ankle. Feels like I had a Charley horse in my sleep and woke up with the after pain. It hurts to walk distances. My left foot feels like pins and needles when I stand up for awhile. When I lay down, it all goes away except for an uncomfortable feeling in my calf. My pulse rate is 72 which means no blood clot yet. 100 or over is a big concern. I'm going to wait a few days believing it was the charley horse. Let's keep in touch on this.

I just starting this werid numb feeling ,left leg from my knee to the top of my foot, I can still feel my calf area that hasn't been affected (yet), it's not painful (yet) but still feel numb a werid feeling, been like this for a few days now, I haven't fell,bumped,or even wore different shoes. I don't have insurance so I'm trying to find a solution on Google and this convo was the closest to what I'm going though, so my question is, did your issues start like Mine? Is this the beginning of a larger problem?

Hi everyone I have started my own discussion on here but just thought I'd be seen on this discussion thread also for about 2 yrs my right leg has felt wierd and seeker but about 12 weeks ago I noticed a massive difference in my calf muscle size 2" diameter less than my good leg and I have been feeling constant muscle twiches inside my leg and in my buttock but hardly anything anywhere else in my body I have a theory that I may have b12 deficiency which is what helps keep the mylene sheath good around your spine I've been taking b12 tablets under my tongue which has helped a bit as my foot isn't as numb. But this week pure by chance I've eaten a few bandannas and my twitching has reduced a lot. Turns out according to Internet you need folate acid in your system to absorb b12 and there's quite a bit of folate acid in bananas so thought I'd share my thoughts. Just to mention I've thought about b12 because my mum was diagnosed with transverse militis and one day she could walk the next day and b12 defiency is a possible contributing fact in this problem. Regards to all. Terry.
