About 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes have some form of neuropathy. People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time, but risk rises with age and longer duration of diabetes. The highest rates of neuropathy are among people who have had diabetes for at least 25 years. Diabetic neuropathies also appear to be more common in people who have problems controlling their blood glucose, also called blood sugar, as well as those with high levels of blood fat and blood pressure and those who are overweight.

Burning/Tingling Left Foot

Burning/Tingling Left Foot

By Adam Sinicki | Conditions Disabilities | Unrated

When you get a burning or a tingling sensation in your feet it's important not to ignore it. While it may be nothing (so don't get too worried just yet) there are a number of things that can cause this symptom that could potentially be serious. Here we will look at a few of the possible causes of tingling feet, how to tell whether these explain your problems, and what to do about it. Diabetes Diabetes is a condition that causes our body to become less efficient in its use of glucose. This is either because we aren't producing enough insulin, or because the insulin that we are producing isn't doing its job. In either case this can cause something called 'diabetic neuropathy' which basically means that the excess sugar in your blood stream is damaging your nerves. Usually this would be felt in both feet, but it's possible that you might notice it in others first. If you are suffering from diabetes then it's important to get this managed with insulin injections and lifestyle alterations so you should consult a doctor immediately. Other symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, blurred vision, and low energy levels. Circulation A burning in the feet can be the result of your blood pooling and collecting in your feet as a result of gravity. If you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or are overweight, and if you work a job where you spend much of your time on your feet, then this is more likely. At the same time a warning sign might be varicose veins – which are prominent bulging veins in your legs. Trauma Injury to your foot can of course cause pain and discomfort and particularly if it resulted in nerve damage. Furthermore this can lead to swelling which may cause pressure on the nerves resulting in excitation of the nerve. Note that various other things can also cause swelling in your feet and toes which can similarly have the same effect – including for instance infection or air travel. Vitamin Deficiencies Vitamin B12 is important for the health of our nerves and if you aren't getting enough then you might notice tingling in your extremities. It's possible to suffer a B12 deficiency due to a genetic tendency, but likewise it can also occur if you aren't getting enough in your diet. The latter is a common problem for vegetarians as meat is the only natural source of B12. If you do have a deficiency then you can use prescribed or over-the-counter B12 supplementation to get your levels back to normal. Nerve Disorders and Disease Part of the reason that it's so important to visit the doctor if you have tingling in your limbs is that it could be a sign of one of several nerve-related diseases including Fabry's disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and others.

Hi Doc,

The pain in my feet and shins has been constant for the past two and a half years. During that time, I had seen two podiatrists, an orthopedist and a family doctor. I tried numerous orthotics, several types of shoes, many prescriptions for pain and inflammation, microvas treatment and sclerosing of nerves. After spending thousands of dollars, the unrelenting pain was substantially affecting my every day life. I was about to make an appointment with a neurologist as a last resort when I ran across your website. Given the lack of response to treatment, I was skeptical but thought it couldn't do any more harm. After the first week of religiously taking Artalgia, the pain began to lessen. After the third week, I was walking without limping from pain. I am about to finish my second bottle and the improvement continues. I am thankfully amazed! Artalgia allows me to walk my dog, shop, drive my car and so forth without pain. My feet still have a mild amount of pain and still get ice cold but at this rate, I believe my feet and shins will feel normal again. I'm looking forward to the spring and summer this year because I can get out and enjoy doing things again without looking for the nearest place to sit down. Thank you very much!!

Sincerely,
John Sterner
