Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Edema And Neuropathy
I once had peripheral edema and neuropathy, now I no longer have either, but when the swelling went away I was left with severe stiffness in my toes and ankles, a hard time wearing shoes outside of flip flops, I can t bend any of my toes, it sort of feels as though there is something in the balls of my feet. Also feels like there is something binding my toes together. It s all painless just difficult to balance walking and wearing shoes. Anyone have an idea what it could be?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nervous system [most commonly seen in diabetic patients]. Another possibility could be nerve compression in spine due to disc bulge.
Change your diet and remove inflammatory foods such as citrus fruits, dairy products and wheat that may aggravate the condition. Simultaneously increase your intake of potassium and calcium-rich foods such as bananas and avocados and green leafy vegetables
Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue and deficiency of it can lead to numbness. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take tab methylcobalamine .
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
