Email address:  YYYY@YYYY Hi!For the past 3 years or more, I have shared my concern numerous times with my primary doctor.  I am 66 years old but look 40-45.  Recent Lab work: Weight 152, Glucose level is 89, LDL 153, Total Cholesterol 235. Treating cholesterol with a modified diet, Red Yeast Rice and exercise. Diagnosed with mild spinal stenosis and scoliosis and chronic venous insufficiency. Do I need to see an endocrinologist?  My feet, arms and fingers are tingling. My fingers are swelling and I am itching. Last night I was very restless due to the acute tingling of my extremities.  Please advise.Thanks you,Joan
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Endocrinologist specialize in treating persons with metabolic or hormonal problems such as thyroid diseases, diabetes, Addison, to name a few. The specialty does not include spinal diseases and venous insufficiency. The tingling sensation that you are experiencing in the limbs would be best treated by a neurologist if they have not been ad Chat Doctor. I hope this helps
