Numbness in my feet

Posted by jb2610 @jb2610, Apr 17, 2025

Have had numbness in my feet for the last 10 years. Doctor says he can't do anything about it because I don't have any pain just numbness.

After seeing several neurologists I complained to my orthopedic doctor that they are not helpful. He confided that orthopedists have a few jokes about this. Here is one:
Two men were in a hot air balloon. A gust of wind came and blew them off course into a bank of clouds. When they descended far enough they spotted a man in a field. They yelled down to him "Where are we?".
He replied, "You're in a hot air balloon". One man in the gondola turned to the other and said: He must be a neurologist. The other man asked why. The first man said, He's entirely correct but totally useless.

Thanks for the info. I have been too a neurologist and had a nerve conduction study. No help! Will just live with it. Could be worse I guess.

Your neurologist might explain how alcohol dissolves fat. Our nerves are coated with myelin fat.. zero alcohol and much B12 will repair nerves. Good luck.

I also agree you definitely need to see an experienced and knowlaegeable neurologist. You are definitely though in much better luck than me since I started having neuropathy last year and I am already at the point of major pain in my feet where I am unable to walk. I wish you the best.

Nerves cause numbness when their myelin has been removed thru low B12 and or too much booze.

I recently had a spinal cord injury in my thoracic area. Before I had surgery the toes on both feet felt numb with the sensation of mud or something between my toes. It's awful feeling. Could this be neuropathy or compressed nerves? Anyone have this feeling?

@buzzsaw1777 Welcome to Connect. It's possible this was caused by the injury. When I broke my ankle, I had some of that feeling of like something was under my foot. What did your doctor tell you?

Hi Jennifer, I have had operations on all levels of my spine. He said he can't be definite because I still have cord flattening and stenosis in my L1, L2. I just had surgery on T6,7 8,9 for a compressed spinal cord thateft me with no signals being sent to my legs before surgery. Now after the decompression I can stand on my legs and take steps but lots of rehab coming my way. But this sensation set in on my toes before and have not gotten better. Lot of info I know and appreciate your comments!

I have numbness due to a blood disorder. I found acupuncture helpful.

There definitely are some things to help with our numbness and perhaps pain. I have been using a product by Juice Plus that has multiple servings of berries in it. This has helped considerably with my numbness and I also have started using Dynamic nerve from stonehedge. This has helped also. My brothers older than me and his whole legs and feet are numb but he's not doing this treatment. I was amazed at how young I was when I started having this. I was in my early forties. Best wishes to you.
I purchased my Juice Plus berries from a distributor. I am not a distributor.

@katherinac Thanks for the info and it is very interesting that you were able to experience help with numbness. Do you need to go through a distributor, or can it be purchased elsewhere? Ed

It does need to be purchased from a distributor. I don't know if it's acceptable to put the # of Jayne Benkendorf. She is quite experienced and helpful. She let me know which one of the capsules was helping my neuropathy.
I would be glad to help with things.
