What Causes Tingling And Numbing Sensation In The Feet?
My feet started becoming tingly and almost numb about 8 days ago. And now they are painful. I am a chef so I spend a lot of time on my feet and I have been doing this for about 22 years of 70 hours work weeks. But now I m concerned. They really are apstarting to hurt and I have a hard time walking. What should I do? I am over weight and I smoke cigs. Thank you for your time.
