Tingling and swelling in feet and ankles. Sore legs

Posted by dfeas @dfeas, May 22, 2023

Just looking for advice or opinions.
Several years ago I started to have tingling in my feet and ankles . Best way I could describe it was I felt like my feet were made of paper .
It seems to be getting a bit worse and I have leg pain .
I have be diagnosed with factor 5 in my blood and have had a couple blood clots behind my knees. So on xarelto.
Also been diagnosed with mild hypothyroidism and taking levothyroxine.
With all that being said, could these things be contributing to the pain and tingling?
Or could it be hip or knee related?
Appreciate your thoughts

I also have tingling in my feet and they feel like paper. It makes me a little less stable when I walk and we try to walk around the neighborhood every day.
I have just finished treatment for esophageal cancer and got a clean bill of health after last PET scan saying the cancer was gone from tumor in esophagus and surrounding lymph nodes.
The tingling in feet stopped a few weeks after last radiation and chemo treatments, but then started up again a few weeks later and has continued. On last visit with chemo doc, she suggested I check out accupuncture so I have an appointment in 2 weeks and will see what I learn.
