[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This started for me just after covid, so 5 years now.  I couldn't go see a doctor when it started because of course covid.

I've been to:

neurosurgeon
neurologist
Primary care
pain doctor
Physical therapist
chiro
accupuncture
podiatrist

Nobody has been able to tell me what is causing the tingling in my feet.  Blood test, MRI on my back, steroid shots in my sciatic.. nothing has helped.

My A1C is elevated but not high. It's not diabetes.

I think it's a basically old age and sitting too much = something pinching my nerves and not enough circulation in my legs.

I found that the tingling is worse when I sit too much, or when I stand still for too long. So my podiatrist told me to try compression socks and elevate my legs when I'm working (I wfh so that's possible).  The assumption is that the blood and fluid have made the veins in my legs swollen, such that it is pressing on the nerves. I don't have visible vericose veins, but it could be internal.  They called it "venous insufficiency".

The tingling is still there, but if I do all the above, it's not as bad. I do have something else going on with either my sciatic or piriformis, and something is pinching my nerve on one side of my hip, too.  I've been sitting too long, and my butt is basically tingling. I need to stand up.

I asked the podiatrist if he thinks this will cause permanent nerve damage, and they said no.

I posted about my issue a while ago.

OP if you find the issue and cure, please report back.[/quote]
