What Causes Numbness In Foot?
Question: numbness in right foot comes and goes.
Brief Answer:
Could be peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and they could be suggestive of a peripheral neuropathy- a disease affecting nerves of feet.
This can be diagnosed by doing nerve conduction studies.
You should also exclude diabetes and vitamin b12 deficiency.
Medications such as pregabalin capsules may 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,
