Tingling feet…what could it be?

The last few weeks my feet have been tingling, sometimes it’s one just the one foot. My right thigh feels heavy and not as strong as my left and I’m finding I can’t walk my dog as far as I used to.
I’m going to try to get a doctors appointment but what could it be? I’m beginning to worry with all the tingling.

Mine have been doing it for months, both feet tingling and feeling like they’re burning as well, along with quite uncomfortable legs, especially when I lie down..
Have had tests at the doctor he has come up with no explanation, I had Covid twice in the past with no symptoms at all so maybe this is long Covid,who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Peripheral neuropathy? Or nerve damage because of long covid? I have it because of diabetes

I have had tingling feet for a while but with no other symptoms I was still physically fit no pains in my legs and no decrease in physical ability. I have been going through the menopause quite late started around the age of 60 and this can be responsible for tingling. I have been doing stretches to keep my spine free and this has now decreased significantly.

It could be circulatory problems or it could be a problem from your back. You do need to see your GP.

I knew someone who suffered with tingling feet. Turned out he had diabetes, and was told it was a common symptom. So please do go and get tested for that!

It could also be due to problems in the lower back or to low potassium levels.
