Numb feet and pins and neeedles in toes.

The bottom of both feet are numbish and toes pins and needles.
I also have pain at top of feet
Started 2 years ago, have had xray didnt show anything.
I know my feet feel cold and better when I warm them up.
A specialist I went to for another reason said I could not feel cold when put on my feet.
I dont have diabetes or lack of vitamin B12.
I do have a lot of back pain and have a swayback, lordosis or whatever..
I am 69 . Have always been active. I stil lam even though sometimes in pain
What do you think  could be causing this and will this ever go away..

Thankyou , I have been tested for Diabetes and for B12 and everything was O..K. , I went  to  a Neurologist due to head tremors, and he said that I didnt feel cold on my feet when he touched them with something cold, he did other tests which ruled out Parkinsons or anything awful like that.

Hello!

You can have numbness of your toes and bottom of your feet due to any local injuries, arthritis, anemia or diabetes.

A fasting blood sugar will rule out any diabetes. Get your hemoglobin levels estimated and take iron supplements if required. Take intermittent vitamin B12 supplements.

Get yourself examined by an orthopedician to rule out any injuries and consider physiotherapy to relieve you of the present symptoms.

Take care!
