Tingle Foots Posted: 01-31-05 07:52am
Hello. I believe that it could be
pressure on a nerve. I have tingle
foot.
(it only happens in one foot). I had
major problems with the sciatic nerve due
to disc pressure in lower spine. The
pain extended down the leg to the foot.
The pain was very intense. I had 2 back
surgeries. The loss of feeling in my
calve and partially the foot, (with
tingling), was caused by nerve damage the
doctors said.
Nerve troubles can extend and skip places
along the way! It's kind of weird to
think that something at a distance can
affect another area, such as the
possibilty of nerve pressure around the
disks in the lower spine may be affecting
your foot.
I'm sure that there are several other
reasons for the tingling sensations,
raynauds? Hope this helps, or others
post their experiences to help you.

Hi, thanks everso for your reply, very
helpful. I do suffer from raynauds but
have only experienced it in my hand.
However, I don't have any discolouration
with my feet or indeed pain just this
strange sensation. I do currently have a
lower back problem, having arrived on
saturday but had the tingling before with
no back pain and indeed over the last two
weeks with no back pain. Can you have
pressure on the never hence the tingling
without experiencing back pain?!?!
It's just that you want to ignore it and
then you read symptons etc. Etc. And
your mind runs away with you!!
Your words are comforting so thanks for
the time you took to respond.
Regards

It could still be nerve pressure. My
back doesnt hurt but the disk pressure
affects my leg in different areas. The
problem may still be nerve pressure. It
could be along the sciatic nerve at any
point.
Are you diabetic? You claim you do have
raynauds too.
Maybe it's worth getting it checked out.
It can't hurt!

Do you have diabetes? If so, it could be
periperal neuropathy.

I'm a 48 year old mom. I started feeling
tingling in my pointer finger. I went to
a neurologist who did a emg and found no
nerve damage. After that I started
feeling tingling on my toes and around my
feet. I went back for another emg of
legs and feet, and found no nerve damage.
Since then I sometimes feel like
something is crawling on my scalp and
sometimes my buttocks and thigh. I am
really freaking out now and have become
obsessed with these health web sights,
looking up all kinds of scary stuff.
I've become a big bundle of nerves and now
I don't know if its nerves of something
else. Anyone out there ever experience
anything like this. Please reply.
Thanks. Worried

I know this started out on 01/30/05 but
have any of you been tested for diabetes
as there is such a thing called diabetic
neuropathy. It could also be stress. I
am no dr but it never hurts to get a
second or third opinion.
Even sometimes a chiropractor can help and
acupuncture, talk to your primary care
provider about your options.
Good luck!
Sincerely!
Sandy

i have a friend that has ms, and this
sounds kinda familiar. Look into it and
find a neurologist that specializes in it.

Tingles In Feet Posted: 12-11-07 09:34am
I am currently being treated for secondary
liver cancer - I'm over the worst, and the
prognosis is great - but I've been
prescribed a fierce drug called oxiplatin.
Normal side effects are tingling in the
feet, fingertips, tongue and throat,
especially when in contact with cool or
cold conditions. It is a neurological
condition, and will probably dissipate or
disappear once I finish with the drug. But
maybe someone could help me with something
I've noticed this morning. I seem to be
getting what I can only define as 'cramps'
in my feet. There is no pain. I can't
really find a suitable analogy for
description purposes - it's almost as if
someone is trying to tug off your
stockings or socks. It's almost like your
ankles and feet have taken on a life of
their own, and occasionally 'breathe in'!
It's weird. And to make matters worse, I
can provoke this occurrence by nodding my
head forward. It doesn't happen if I
rotate my head left or right, nor lean my
head backwards! It only happens on nodding
forward.
Anyone got any answers, please?

I have the same symptoms after having
chemo for colon cancer. Did you ever get
over it or did you get a diagnosis? Mine
seems to be related to calcium build-up in
my spine that is pinching on my spinal
cord and causing the feet tingle.
