Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Part of my foot has been numb for several days but I feel fine. No pain or anything. Is this any reason for concern?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I see that you need to perform the following tests to see if you have acquired diabetes and/or anemia related to vitamin B12 deficiency. In case the test results are negative and the symptoms resolve in the coming days then there is no need to worry. If the condition continues despite negative result in the tests, then I suggest taking Vitamin B complex supplement, like the one I will mention in the treatment part.
