No feeling in foot

Posted by meatheads @meatheads, 1 day ago

I had an episode that caused my right foot up to the ankle go dead to the touch. This lasted 20 minutes and gradually went away. There were no tingling or pin like feelings as with it coming back from falling asleep. Anyone experience this?

Hi @meatheads, I haven't felt that kind of feeling in my foot but I have in my arms during the night depending on which side I'm sleeping on. If I have my arm in an awkward position it will sometimes fall asleep and the feeling can either be like you describe or it can also be with tingling which will go away once I change positions and move my arm a little. It sounds similar to paresthesia which can also be transient (temporary) - https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24932-paresthesia.

You might find it helpful to scan through these member comments on paresthesia in foot to see if anything sounds similar - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.

Have you discussed the symptoms with your doctor?

Good morning, meatheads (@meatheads)

That's a curious one, this experience of feeling going and then returning. My neuropathy is one with no pain but lost sensation in my lower parts, but when the sensation's lost it stays lost. I'm glad you posted your question. I'm going watch carefully for any replies you receive. I may not have had your experience up until now, but who knows? tomorrow's another story. For that matter, an hour from now is another story! 🙂

Cheers!

@ray666 To quote my neurologist "Acute transient worsing is not typical of a chronic polyneuropathy "
Some things you want to forget. I forgot that leg has an artificial hip which was screwed up during surgery. That may have contributed to the incident.
