How To Treat Tingling And Burning Sensation In Toes And Foot?

I was laying in bed and was awoken by a sting on my foot. There are two fang marks. It happened about 45 minutes ago. I could not find the spider. My toes and the bottom of my foot are tingling with a burning sensation. I have some slight dizziness. The are around the bite hasnt changed much besides a very slight redness around it about the size of a dime. We tend to have brown recluses in our home. But ihave beenb itten before at home and it ended up not being a recluse. I dontr ecall the tingling sensation being as bad last time. What should I do?

Hello,

Toes numbness is a symptom that may be related to several conditions including peripheral neuropathy, herniated disc, and spinal lumbar stenosis, mononeuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, prolonged alcohol use, etc.

Diagnostic tests take an important role in cases like yours in understanding correctly the cause. Nerve conduction study, Doppler ultrasound of the legs vessels, MRI of the lumbar spine, etc. may be necessary for this purpose.

It is necessary to get examined first by your primary care Doctor who can order the appropriate tests and consultations in order to achieve a correct diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
