Cupping guides

Numbness and tingling in the feet and legs: where it is felt and what it means (nerve in the back, nerve in the leg, polyneuropathy, circulation, B12), burning feet, when to seek care, and what helps: exercises, shoes, blood sugar and cupping

The foot falls asleep when you sit with your legs crossed and wakes with pins and needles when you stand up: that is harmless and everyone knows it. But tingling in the feet that comes for no reason, numbness that lingers, a burning feeling under the feet at night, or a feeling of walking on cotton wool or with a sock that isn't there, are signals from the nerves that should be taken seriously and can usually be explained. Where it is felt says a lot: both feet symmetrically and upwards like a sock suggests polyneuropathy (diabetes, B12 deficiency, alcohol, thyroid), a strip down one leg a compressed nerve root in the back (sciatica), only under the forefoot a nerve in the foot (Morton's neuroma, tarsal tunnel), the outside of the thigh a skin nerve in the groin, and cold, pale feet with pain when you walk the circulation. Here is the location map, the causes, the warning signs that need care the same day, the tests to ask for, and what helps: exercises for nerve and back, the right shoes, blood sugar, B12 and alcohol, foot care, and cupping of calves and thighs that improves circulation and releases muscles that compress nerves, but never over skin you can't feel.
