What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Hands And Feet?

I started noticing this weird feeling in my feet several months ago. It has increasingly gotten worse. I did not relate it to the medicine, Remicade since I have been on it a year. After my last infusion (a couple of weeks ago) my hands started doing the same things and have continued to get worse. It feels numb and tingly on the surface, but my joints still hurt. What can I do?

Hello
Its probably peripheral neuropathy. It could be the result of underlying disease for which you are having ramcade. Also, it can occur due to vit b12, thyroid problems and diabetes. Although, not very common, it can be result of ramcade.
So you should have test for these like vit b12, thyroid profile, sugars fasting and post lunch.
You could get prescribed tab ME12 or neurobion forte once a day which is a nerve vitamin.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
