What Causes Tingling Sensation On The Toes?

I am a male age 63. I have had pins and needles in the toes of my right foot for several months. It doesn t hurt or cause any problems with balance. Within the last week I have started to experience same in my fingers of right hand although not constantly like my foot. Comes and goes. I had a physical recently and was not told that I had any issues with blood sugar.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
There are a variety of reasons people could experience numb or tingling feet but this is present all over the body this is more likely to idnucate vitamin and mineral insufficency.
Other conditions include multiple sclerosis, diabetes, tarsal tunnel syndrome, peripheral artery disease, and having too much pressure on the nerves. Treatment can be started when the right cause is found.

In your case, symptoms indicate that it could be neuropathy or fibromyalgia. I would suggest to do Doppler ultrasound and EMG for a start. Till that check your blood sugar and calcium levels since these causes may lead to numbness as well. Though occasional numbness can occur, persistent numbness and tingling can be an indication of a serious underlying medical problem.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
