What Do Prolonged Tingling In Toes And Hot Flashes On Foot Suggest?

Dear doc, I'm 26 years old. it's been almost 3 month I have these symptoms. I have a wierd feeling in my left lower leg. It's like a tingling sensation. My left foot gets hot flashes that last for 3 seconds at times. One of my toes is always tingling. I need to massage my foot or leg to make it feel a bit better. I can't explain the sensation with words but it tingles :(

Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM. When someone gets a nerve type sensation (pain, numbness, tingling, hot flash) on one side, there are a few things that can be checked. Sometimes lower back issues can cause nerve sensations if there is a nerve running to the leg from the back that is getting pinched. It is also important to consider medical issues that may be affecting the nerves in general, such as diabetes. Depending on what the nature of the nerve problem is, treatment would vary widely.
I hope this helped answer your question. If you have any further questions, I am here to help.
Thanks.
