What Should I Do As I Feel Cushion Like Underneath My Foot?

I wore heels today and I got home n took them off and I laid down and when I got up I thought something was under my foot and there wasn't anything but when I walk it feels like a cushion underneath and this has never happened and I am overweight too.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think you should check your sugars and thyroid levels.

The symptoms you have mentioned are typical to neuropathy. The symptoms usually happen amongst many conditions like vitamin B12 defiicency, copper deficiency, diabetes (that may be undiagnosed in your case- suspected due to obesity), hypothyridism (that may be undiagnosed in your case- suspected due to obesity), and other such causes.

The best way to control this symptom is by controlling the underlying condition.And so I suggested the tests

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
