Suggest Treatment For Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Foot

I have recently started a new job working for the Post Office (delivering mail), mostly on foot, so walking 7-14 miles a day, 5 days a week. On my right foot, I have a long 2nd toe (carrot toe) and it has become numb feeling with some tingling. Any thoughts?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness and tingling sensation in the foot . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment .
