[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you an exerciser?  Could be plantar fasciitis.  Gabapentin might help.  I use mint  foot cream daily(the kind that makes your feet tingle) but it's not really painful so I ignore it.  Yoga also helps because stretching the hamstrings seems to stretch my feet as well.  Also make sure you have good arch supports in your shoes and do walk barefoot.[/quote]
OP here. I do have plantar fasciitis.  And I have tried Gabapentin, which did not help.  Also tried rx muscle relaxers, which also didn't help.

But why would plantar fasciitis cause the tingling when I've been sitting too long?

I wear oofos in the house, always.  And yes, I stretch most nights.

The tingling is not bad first thing in the morning, when I've been laying on my bed overnight.  So, it leads me to think it might be sciatic related.

No doctors have been able to diagnose me, so I'm really appreciative of the DCUM sleuths helping me out.

Or as a PP stated, is this just one of those old people issues (I'm 54), and I just have to live with it? 😭[/quote]
