Due to compression of spinal nerve root

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of spinal nerve root there can be tingling twitches and warmth in foot.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Another possibility of sympathetic nerve injury.

Ok thanks alot. I thought it was diabetes but hat was cleared lol. So youre saying it can be teeated? Can it be corrected? I was also reading online that cancer of the spine causes this. Is that possibke or unkikely? I have a doctor appt next week for annual physical and will request imaging etc. Is this life threatenjng in any way? Should i be concerned about brain tumors? Thanks again

Possibility of spine cancer at your age is very less.

It doesn't look life threatening ,but severe nerve compression is not good.

Yes possibility of space occupying lesion in brain can be possible,for this you need imaging study according to clinical examination.
