Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Cyst size in left kidney is important for management. If small, it can be safely ignored.
2. Tingling and numbness is possibly due to diabetic neuropathy or Vit B12 deficiency.
3. Meet a neurologist to identify possible cause. If you have any back pain, Ct scan may be necessary. Continue treatment with Vit B12 and lipoic acid. It could show improvement within two weeks.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
