numbness in my feet

(2 discussions)

About three weeks ago I noticed while laying in bed that I couldn’t really feel both of my feet. It hasn’t got any worse but hasn’t gone away either. I’m not to my knowledge diabetic, I’ve seen this as a possible cause. I’ve had no injuries, haven’t really changed anything in my life at all. It’s identical in both feet, the outside of both feet and ankles, a bit on the soles of my feet and about halfway up each calf but only on the outsides, inside of feet and leds feels normal. I really have no feeling on my ankles at all. It’s kind of bothering me, it’s not painful but obviously somethings wrong. I can’t really get to a doctor because I have no insurance and not much money. I hope it’s not a big deal. Just thought maybe someone else might know what this might be. I’m 28, exercise very often, and otherwise in good health, no problems at all.

    Certainly, the treatments so far have been comprehensive. It is difficult to even suggest a diagnosis, since I have not examined you but one of the things I would consider would be Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. A neurologist might be a good choice to do an EMG. Some of the symptoms you describe sound like Tarsal Tunnel syndrome.
