Tingling Q & A
What does tingling in the hands or feet mean?
Sometimes, tingling in your hands or feet just means that they "fell asleep." This happens when there's unusual pressure on your nerves for a limited time, for example when you cross your legs for an extended period, you might have one leg fall asleep.
This kind of tingling is just temporary. It goes away shortly after you return to your usual position, stand up, or start walking.
Tingling can also be a key indicator of something far more serious: neuropathy. If you have neuropathy, your tingling will continue sporadically and unpredictably. Because you have serious nerve damage, you need treatment as soon as possible.
What other symptoms occur along with tingling?
If you have tingling due to neuropathy, you'll also experience pain. The pain can vary from dull to sharp, and it’s often sporadic just like the tingling may be. You're likely to experience shooting or stabbing pains in your feet, especially in your heels.
Besides tingling and pain, neuropathy can cause problems with balance, numbness, muscle weakness, and a burning sensation in the hands or feet. Neuropathy can make it difficult or even impossible to move and live like you used to.
