Question: Please I have been feeling numbness and tingling in my hands and feet for two years now when I got pregnant with my second child I have tried my possible best but still any help please
Answer: Hello Philomena 

The feeling of numbness and tingling in the hands and legs is known as paresthesia and because its been going on for about two years this is considered chronic paresthesia which is often a sign of nerve damage peripheral neuropathy 

There are different causes of peripheral neuropathy diabetes kidney disease infections poisoning etc are some of the known causes 

The severity and frequency of the paresthesia depends on the cause therefore it is important to find the exact cause oftentimes treating the underlying cause eliminates the continuous numbness and tingling sensation The earlier the underlying cause is identified and management commenced the less likely potentially lifelong consequences can develop 

Kindly visit your physician for a review and possible investigations in an attempt to identify the cause Meanwhile you can chat with a doctor privately here to discuss your other symptoms and to get information and advice on how to proceed
