Question: I am 74 years old male. Suffering from toe stiffness, numbness, pain in fore foot and burning occasionally. Kindly suggest what I can do to over come. I do exercise in the morning for 1 hr every day ( 6.00 AM to 7.00 AM ) using all joints toe, ankle, knee, hip, shoulders, neck, sit up, push up, dhanurasana etc.
Brief Answer:
Symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and I would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Based on this, the most likely diagnosis could be peripheral neuropathy, where the nerves in the feet get affected. The common causes include diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, etc.
Detailed evaluation would require nerve conduction studies, and blood tests.
As of now, you can take pregabalin capsules for relief of symptoms.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
