Can tingling in hands and feet cause ataxia?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 24-year-old man suffering from tingling sensations in my hands, lower legs, and feet, as well as muscle fasciculations that occur randomly in any part of my body. I have developed erectile dysfunction. Additionally, I have had abnormally high arches. This runs in the family on my father's side.
One of my relatives suffered from Friedrich's ataxia with late onset. Can I be at risk of developing the condition? I also have very mild spina bifida occulta, if that is relevant.
Please help me.
Thank you.
