Questioni was diagnosed with spondylosis years ago after a MRI and CT scan after a car accident. the last 3 days my ankles feet and lower legs are tingly, soar and sometimes throbbing. Its only at night and i have not done any extra activity. my job involves both sitting and standing at times.
AnswerDear Kristina,
This Orthopedic Chicago Podiatrist located in West Loop 60661,Roscoe Village 60618, Elmhurst 60126 & Bartlett 60103 says...
Try sleeping with your legs elevated for the foot & leg swelling. At work- Try to take a few brisk steps after standing before you sit down. For the foot & leg numbness try different sleeping positions & learn back & stomach exercises-which may help lessen your symptoms( may be most important piece of advice I give you). Less weight on the feet will also produce less symptoms. If these symptoms continue or get worse-see your Board Certified Podiatrist.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
