Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe numbness and pain in the foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fibromyalgia , multiple sclerosis , herniated disc or vitamin B12. I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . keep your legs in hot water tub with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and take proper rest . If condition doesn't get better then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI of leg and spin along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory , vitamin supplement and physical therapy . Doctor may also recommend surgery in case of severe disc problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
