Left foot Tingles | Arthritis Information

Just today my left foot started to tingle, kind of like it feels when something falls asleep and you finally start to feel the blood flow back through it. Has any on ever had this problem?I have either constant numbness/tingling or constant burning in my feet, hands, arms and legs. I've been told that it's caused by inflamed joints impinging on my nerves. This is called neuropathy, and it's a fairly common side effect of RA.
I was also dx'ed with neuropathy about a year ago and that is a symptom for sure. Mine started like that and pretty soon it was pretty much from the knee down I would feel like my legs were falling asleep. I was sent to a neurologist who dx;ed that as well as low B12. B12 injections help it alot as well as lyrica.

 
Ask your RD to run a quick B12 test. A lot of us have that problem and it causes a lot of symptoms and it's rarely routinely checked. It's an easy fix if that's it.
My right arm has been tingling now for going on 6 weeks.  It only does it in certain positions.
