I would say many people are experiencing this after covid vaccinations. I had 3 pfizer vaccines, no problems. I had a 4th due to my immune state and a few hours later...numbness and tingling in feet, by morning up to my knees, in my fingertips, twitching sensations and sometimes feel very weak in leg. I did not have this before shot. It has been 2 months of this now. Been to neurologist, general doctor and spoke to my oncologist. I have had blood tests , MRI of neck, EMG and muscle/nerves tudies. Everything normal. Each of my doctors believes it is a vaccine reaction that will "eventually" go away. No one has had an explanation of what it is or why it's happening. Many people around the world have reported neuropathies after covid vaccinations. As one of my doctors said, "new disease, new vaccines, we just don't know". I am hopeful this will all soon pass. And as I have had many friends die of covid before the vaccine, I am sure they would exchange numbness and tingling to be alive again. Anyway, I wish you the best. Keep us updated.

There is evidence that the nerve damage that may happen with the Covid vaccines is autoimmune-mediated. The immune profile resembles Long Covid. In both the vaccine injuries and long Covid, patients benefit from rest with little aerobic activity. The rest suppresses the autoimmune reaction. People seem to tolerate mild resistance exercise better than aerobic exercise. I hope this information helps.
