Suggest Treatment For Slight Numbness In The Calf And Feet
I am 63 yrs old in good health. Very active. Workout weights and aerobic exercises since I was 16 yrs old. Retired life is good. The past few days the bottom of my feet feel a slight numbness and tingle a little feel in my calf also. Not sure what it means. Annual check up every yr and blood work are good for my age. I know there could be more than one answer.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have slight numbness in the calf and feet. 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 . 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.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
