Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my toes are kind of numb and yet they are causing me pain. i have tried new work boots, inserts, and yet nothing seems to help. I m 63 and work in the construction trades and am on my feet all day, which makes this kind of bothersome but not incapitacitating. Any ideas?
Hello, You are probably having peripheral neuropathy. You should get Vit b12 levels, thyroid test and sugars tested. You should avoid alcohol if any. Get prescribed tab ME12 1 mg once a day for a Month which is a nerve vitamin and tab Pregabalin 75g bedtime which is a nerve stabilizer. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
