Specializes in Urgent Care

You need to see a Dr: You need to be evaluated for diabetes and looked at for other causes of peripheral neuropathy, radiculopathy, etc. Do they get numb only with standing, sitting, walking, etc? There are too many potential diagnoses to deal with in this format. See a dr. Soon...
