Numbness In Foot, Muscle Spasm. Help

I woke up one morning with little to no feeling in my foot. I could not move my foot or toes. It felt like I had slept on it the entire night. Nothing I did got my foot to feel again. It's been three weeks, I have had some improvement. I can now walk on it, but at the same time I am getting sever muscle spasms. I have gotten some movement back, I can wiggle my toes and move my foot. Help?

Hello dear,
Thanks for believing in HCM.
I have read your query.
Please go for Blood Test for Hemoglobin & Calcium.
Low calcium level called Hypocalcemia can cause this problem.
Low Hb level called Anemia may does this numbness.

So go for All Hemogram test & Consult Ur Physician .
Eat green leafy vegetables & iron rich food & Bananas.

take care.
Give 5 star if u agree with my Ans.

hi

Thanks for your query

i can feel your concerns

your symptoms could be due to vitamin B12 deficiency or hypocalcemia

i advise you to have a complete blood profile and peripheral film examination

take vitamin B12 ,Folic acid and calcium supplements after consuting your doctor

improve your diet

add meat,vegetables and fruits to diet

i advise you to take rest

donot lift weight

cold massage is also helpful

you can also apply some local painkiller like diclofenac sodium on site

take some oral painkiller and muscle relaxant as well

usually it settle with time

however if pain continues then i advise you to consult your doctor for proper examination

wishing you a speedy recovery
