[|Human|] I get a stabbing sensation like a needle being poked in my foot at random times. It will happen maybe a dozen times a day for a week or so then not happen again for months. It feels like someone must have a vooddoo doll and theyre stabbing my foot. Can you explain
[|AI|]  Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to:1. Para-spinal spasm and entrapment of nerve fibers at Lumbosacral region.2. Inadequate HY Chat Doctor.  Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron, Calcium, vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, etc. which help in blood formation & nerve conduction.4. Peripheral neuropathy caused due to any fluctuation in blood pressure or blood sugar level. Symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of cervicogenic agents (like Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic acid) as well as multivitamin & multimineral supplements including iron, calcium & vitamin D needs to be added in your diet. Physiotherapy & postural exercise will also be helpful. If symptoms still persist, kindly consult a Neurologist & get a complete Neurological examination done. Certain investigations like complete blood count, serum electrolyte estimation, fresh estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels & nerve conduction studies will be helpful to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.X-ray & MRI of Lumbosacral spine can also be carried out to detect any nerve entrapment. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
