Does anyone know why my toes feel like there tingling all the time



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve surgery may 31st. The night i ran out of pain meds my toes tingled at night which kept me up most of the night. Its so annoying i want to bang my foot on the floor. If i put preasure on my toes it feels better but its driving me nuts and even taking ambien at night im hardly sleeping because of it. Does anyone know why or how to stop it?

I tryed drinking more Water like maybe its from dehydration but that doesnt seem to be the case. Anyone know?

That sounds like it could be a nerve issue. Maybe nerves that are still healing ? You should check with your surgeon for sure.

Are you diabetic? Do you have foot neuropathy?

I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday he just said lets leep an eye on it. He said there werent anyother symptoms to suggest anything else. He said if its still going on at our next appointment then maybe i need restless leg symptom medicine. Im not diabetic ether so i just dont know. Hoping someone had same issues.

Ive always had a problem with my hands going numb at night when i sleep on my side and thats do too nerve problems in my shoulders and neck but to have my toes tingle now its getting harder to sleep.. it must be a nerve issue in my toes which i hope somehow goes away.

I kinda wonder if this WLS triggered a bigger problem in my body. My sister has alot of nerve issues and is misserable. Oh dear i hope that doesnt happen for me. I didnt even think about it till now.

I get “itching” in my feet and toes. Mine is a side effect from Percocet. Try an antihistamine. Also, your gut can produce histamine and cause the tingling, also try allergy medicine or a probiotic for your gut.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
