HiT hanks for your query and welcome. You have mentioned numbness in both your feet since 1 week. Numbness in the lower limbs can be due to multiple causes : compression of nerves in lower back, localized nerve entrapment, systemic neurological cause, metabolic disorder or any vascular issue. Do you have any pain in the lower back region? Is numbness also associated with any weakness of paresthesia as well?does walking increase your symptoms? Do you take medicines for any disease or any previous long term medication ? Also can you kindly send me your recent blood investigations so that I can have a look and let you know on what needs to be done. For complete evaluation, we may need :MRI Spine NCV and EMG lower lifeblood tests to find out any particular cause. Now you have mentioned that you have been prescribed Tab Lyrics 75 mg which you can continue along with Tab Terrorize OD which will provide you essential minerals and vitamins which will act as neuroregenerators You can also start with Physio and a modality called as TENS is useful for neuropathic symptoms Kindly let me know if you need any further information Thanks & Regards Chat Doctor.
