[|Human|] I am having tingling bordering on numbness in my legs and feet. I have had hot feet on and off for several years. The tingling now happens whenever I sit. I has been occurring for about 5 days. I had a T12 compression fracture about 2 years ago, so it may be related to that. My question is - what specialty of doctor should I visit? Orthopedic? Rhuematologist? Pain specialist? Interventional spine?
[|AI|]  HelloYour symptoms may suggest nerve involvement in lumbosacral region. You may need clinical correlation and few investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, serum calcium and vitamin D level, thyroid profile, X-ray of L/S spine (AP/Lateral view), MRI of L/S spine. It is important to assess nerve compression etc. I suggest consulting neurologist. Its treatment may be both conservative of surgical. It depends upon clinical evaluation and investigation report.
