What Causes Tingling And Numbness In The Feet?
Brief Answer:
Possible Vitamin B12 deficiency?
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.
Considering your symptoms and age , I suspect a possibile Vitamin B12 deficiency.
This can present with neurological symptoms, particularly tingling and numbness.
It's very important to screen for this deficiency and an early intervention has to take place.
For this, I advise you to get serum Vitamin B12 tested.
Based on the lab values, either oral or injectable forms of B12 can be administered.The duration of therapy can last for 3-12 months.
Recovery is almost complete and excellent.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
