Suggest Remedy For Numbness And Severe Pain In Foot While Walking
I have foot pain, about an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10, whenever I get up from sitting or laying down. The pain is on the top part of my foot. Once I start walking around it subsides but it takes about 5 minutes. It feels as if the foot has fallen asleep but more intense.

Dear sir/mam, regarding your query I would like to know about your age/sex, any medical history of any disease like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease or any other illness.
I would like to know if you are on any medication.
Any history of smoking or alcohol intake.
Because pain and numbness in feet may be due to several reasons.
Based on your presentation it sounds like you are having neuropathic pain which can be relieved by taking vitamin supplements like Vitamin B group and drugs like gabapentin.
With a more precise history we can further come to some conclusion. Meanwhile hope this was helpful to you.
Thanks and regards
