Right Foot Tingling and Twitching: Causes & Relief


Question
Hello. I am a healthy 30 year old female. For the past week, I have been having twitching and sort of a tingling/tickling sensation in my right foot.

I was not surprised or alarmed by the twitching. I twitch frequently and all over my body, and it has been that way my whole life.

But the tingling/tickling feeling alarms me. It is limited to my right foot and it always feels like my foot is just about to fall asleep. It is not severe - it seems to go away if I am moving about.

Any ideas?  Thank you!

Answer
The first thought that comes to mind is a disc in the low back pressing on a nerve or a nerve being pinched a little around the ankle/foot from shoes, etc.  If it is either, it probably will fade away in a couple of weeks.... if it persists you need to get it checked out, same if it occurs in both feet...
