Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have frequent nocturia, feet swelling and numbness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sciatica , multiple sclerosis , herniated disc , supplements, B12 deficiency and neuropathy . I would suggest you to keep your legs in hot water tub with epsom salt for 15 minutest daily , take light walk daily and eat healthy diet rich in vitamins and mineral . If condition doesn't get better then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like CT scan of back or blood test along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe supplement , physical therapy or stretching exercises .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
