Brief Answer:
Medications can help you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Severe numbness in feet is suggestive of peripheral neuropathy- a disease of nerves located in skin.

Common causes include diabetes mellitus, vitamin B12 deficiency and thyroid disorders.

The diagnosis can be confirmed by neurological examination and nerve conduction studies.

Medications such as pregabalin capsules and vitamin B12 supplements can help you.

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,
