I was advised to take ibuprofen,which I have been doingPlease advise,thanks Bruce
[|AI|]  Hi, thanx for your query. Tooth has nothing to do with numbness from shoulder to foot. Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve condition of the extremities causing numbness, tingling, and pain. A physical nerve injury type condition (e.g. a nerve entrapment or some type of pressure being applied to a nerve directly or to the spinal attachment of that nerve), or a disease condition affecting the nerves (e.g. neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes. Hope this is helpful. Please visit neurologist.
