Hi...I am so sorry u r not getting the answers u r looking for....since ur blood work did not indicate an issue...have u had a MRI of ur spine where u have this issue to rule out a herniated disk?

Posture is very important...my neurologist suggested the Feldenkrais method and strongly feels this can make a big difference in over all health.

Good luck

Hi, Thank you for your question. I think your symptoms could be due to injury to a nerve, pressure on spinal or peripheral nerves (neuropathy), vitamin deficiency, lack of blood supply due to cholesterol plaque from atherosclerosis in the extremities, viral infection and use of certain medications.  In addition, atherosclerosis can also cause pain, numbness, and tingling while walking and they can also reduce blood supply and lead to numbness. Please consult your doctor to get all these possibilities evaluation in your case for further assessment. Hope this helps.
