What Does Tingling Sensation In The Feet Indicate?
Hello- I have recently noticed a tingly feeling in my feet- always having a cold feeling. I also have had some head fogginess. I recently went off birthcontrol in preparation for a laparoscopy (possibly endometriosis which looked like it has attached my ovary to my abdomen wall) and they will be putting in a IUD to help stop my heavy periods. I am wondering if it sounds like I may have low iron (due to the long and heavy cycles) or a reaction from coming off the birth control. I go next week for blood work for the surgery so I don t want to call again with another problem when I will be getting my blood checked in a few days? Any thoughts?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do following investigations: -RBS, PP2BS -Complete Hemogram -Serum vitamin B12 -X-ray lumbar spine
As anemia, diabetes, low B12 level or nerve compression at lumbar spine can cause a tingling sensation. That will be ruled out from above investigations.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Hiren Hirpara
