What causes swollen feet and ankles with numbness of toes?
Patient: What causes swollen feet and ankles and numbness of toes. My feet kill me. I have been to doctors galore and have had every test done. I did however have 2 bands positive for lymes disease in the later stage. Now doc says neuropathy can come with lymes. I m still am not myself. Does neuropathy cause swelling in the feet and ankles and numbness of the toes? This is how it all started. I was tested for MS and sometimes I think that I have it with other unusal symtoms that I get like water dripping down my leg. However I was tested with MRI s of the brain and spine. Thanks Doctor: Hello, Thanks for writing to us, I have read your query,YES THIS CAN BE NEUROPATHY POST LYMES.          Change your diet and remove inflammatory foods such as citrus fruits, dairy products and wheat that may aggravate peripheral neuropathy. Simultaneously increase your intake of potassium and calcium-rich foods such as bananas and avocados and green leafy vegetable.Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue and deficiency of it can lead to numbness. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take Inj methylcobalamine.Hope this answers your query.
