What Causes Numbness In Hands, Feet And On Lips?
Can you assist me? I have been experiencing numbness in both of my hands and feet along with lips over the past month... I am scheduled to see a nuero, but waiting for appointment. The numbness has gotten worse over past several weeks and seems to get worse in bed and when I elevate my feet. Overall I have not felt great as well. They have taken many blood test and all came back normal..

Hello,
In your case, peripheral neuropathy or damage of the small peripheral nerves by other underlying conditions should be considered.
These conditions may be diabetes, prolonged alcohol use, viral infection, adverse effects of drugs, heavy metals poisoning, low vitamin B12, etc. Discuss with your Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
