Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling and numbness in hand and feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like neuropathy , deficiency or vitamin B 12 and nerve compression , But in your case the symptoms are probably due to complera as its side effects . Complera is known to cause numbness in legs and hands as its side effects . I would suggest you to consult doctor who prescribe this drug . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe substitute . For now apply warm compresses to hands and feet and drink plenty of water .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
