Hi, Peripheral neuropathy causes pain and numbness in the hands and feet. The pain typically is described as tingling or burning. This can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems such as diabetes and exposure to toxins. If you have been experiencing this for a month with no improvement, it is best to see your doctor or neurologist. A complete physical and neurologic examination should be done to help with the diagnosis. Blood and urine tests may also be done to rule out other causes. A healthy diet that is rich in vitamin B!2 is usually advised. Avoid repetitive motions, cramped positions and raising your arms or feet. Take care and regards.

I am a 58 year old man and have been experiencing numbness in my thigh area for a couple of months or more. The numbness has been getting progressively worse in the last couple of weeks to the point where I am having trouble getting comfortable and it seems to take longer for numbness to pass.
