Buzzing sensation in foot

[medco]

For the past 2 days, I've had this constant buzzing sensation in my left foot. It comes and goes every 6 seconds. However, when I walk, and when I do other activities that require a lot of attention, the sensation disappears.

I seem to be getting different sensations, all paresthesia, that come and go every couple of weeks.

During these periods, I also get anxious, so I'm not sure if its anxiety or the paresthesia that's the cause.

What could this be?

I also have epilepsy and panic/anxiety attacks. I am currently on Tegretol and Paxil.

Folks,
  My buzzing (parethesias) in the feet was due to exstensive signal abnormalities in my cervical spine due to Lyme disease. I no longer have lesions in the spine thanks to Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Those sensations are gone now.
  I do not know what you have but the sensations described are exactly what I had and they are called parethesias (it can make many funny feelings).
  So-does this mean that you have a neurological condition? NO! It means you may. But b-12 def, electrolite problems, and so on can produce similar findings.

Hope that this helps,
JCmcc.

I just wanted to let you know I also have the same buzzing in both of my feet on and off, it seems like they rotate. We are not alone because I know of three other people that this has happened to, and nothing was seriously wrong it just either went away or comes and goes with no real pattern. I can't find anything linking it to anything, maybe it just irritated nerves. I don't know if you do but I stand almost all day long. I hope the neurologist can give us an answer when he/she post. Good luck

Actuall, if you could simply copy and paste your question in here this would save me time and get you a quicker response from me. :)

Thanks,

Also, these lesions can be present in any area of the CNS and LPs also cannot always have a differential as LD patients may also present with oligoconal bands.

**here is my post**
I've been reading this forum for a while to see what help or answers I can come up with for my dd, but since I haven't been able to post on the Dr side I thought I try here. Some on this forum seem very well educated in this area.
My dd is 4 yrs and in Sept she had an unexplained seizure. She was sitting on a sit n spin for a couple seconds when she fell back and went into a seizure. We got her into a Ped neuro Dr since it wasn't fever related or anything. Since the seizure she has had headaches several times a week (only lasting a few min) and complains that her R eye 'hurts'. At first we thought something was in her eye, but after the 3rd time we figured something else was going on. She does have glasses (vision -2.0 R eye & -3.0 in L). She had a MRI and EEG done which came back ok only thing noted was Paranasal Sinus Disease. They put her on antibiotic for 10 days, no change. Over the past month and half she has started having tingling (needle feelings) in her hands and feet. Again, only lasting a couple minutes at a time until yesterday. We were in the car and this time it lasted for about 20 minutes in her R foot. She was screeming so hard I almost took her to the ER.
As you can imagine I'm concerned for her and have talked to the Ped Neuro Dr and they have ordered another amblitory EEG in March.
Just wondering if anyone out there may have some other suggestions about what could be going on with her. She is otherwise a VERY active kid.
Oh, I have had her eyes examined by a Ped Optho Dr as well.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Dear Friend,
Please be advised that my response to you is not professional, is not medical advice, is educational, and that I am not a representative of MEDHELP.


With that said,
I am sorry to hear of your daughters seizure and headaches and the associated anxiety that is accompanying these sequences. I am glad to hear that her MRI was clear.
I am sure that you are aware that Paranasal Sinus Disease (PND) can cause migraine, general headaches, and head pain? The parethesias that you describe in her can commonly be experienced in a viral situation and perhaps ten days and the dosage (unknown) was not powerful enough for whatever was the problem to begin with?
Headache and eye pain (I am assuming that there is no neuritis) are common side effects of PND but are non-specific.
It seems to be one of those unfortunate situations where the test is time and waiting. I would hope and imagine that if she was in serious danger these specialists would have noted that and taken proper precautions and thus I would not worry too much on that level.
She may have a migraine disorder, a viral infection or this may all be tied to unfinished business with PND. I would perhaps consider a combinatory effect with a virus (perhaps now dead or present) with PND.
Unfortunately there can be so many causes that I am left with little more to give for ideas. If you have the insurance I would now see an ear and headache specialist. The seizure/s is the biggest concern here.  

Good Luck!
