what type of doctor should I see if I am having numbness in my right toes and my right middle two fingers?

Question:

The numbness is also accompanied with tingling. I sit most of the day and that is when it bothers me. It feels like my extremedies are going to sleep. It is only on the right side. My toes are also sensitive to cold.

Answers:
Neurologist is an excellent suggestion. A cardiologist is also a very good idea.

Best you could do is go to the hospital for an examination and testing. Let your own internal medecine doctor know that you are going. Try to go to the hospital he/she is affiliated with.

Neurologist. Sounds like nerve damage or possible seizures.

Neurologist

go see your family doctoe, if he/she cant help you, they will refer u to a specialist.

an internist or a chiropractor. i'd try the chiropractor first.

I am an occupational therapist and I would think that you need to see either an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in the neck or spine or a neurologist. I cannot diagnose a problem, but it seems like you might be experiencing some problems associated with a pinched nerve.

Go see your primary care physician first, you may just have an infection that your body is trying to fight and it is drawing blood from your extremities to keep your heart and brain going, or you could have a circulatory problem and if so your primary care physician should be able to refer you to the correct specialist. Good Luck. Jenn

I`d start out with an osteopath..for a few adjustments to see if he can relieve any pressure in your spinal area thats causing these sensations.

you definitely have some spinal something going on i would talk to your family dr. she/he will refer you to the right dr.

Neurologist. You may have spinal stenosis. A slow narrowing of the spinal cord. Sort of arthritis.

try a family doctor he'll tell where to go

I had some of your symptoms and went to see a Neurologist. I ended up just last week having surgery on my neck because they found 2 disk that were causing pressure on my spinal cord nerves because the disk in my neck were herniated. Don't wait to see someone because if it's a similar problem the nerves could be damaged permanently and the numbness will continue. Yet what you seem to have is possibly due to your lower back that I again had some of your symptoms which ended up with having surgery for that too. Good Luck and don't put it off!

It could be diabetes. Make sure that wherever you go they check your blood sugar. It is estimated that a third of U.S. citizens are diabetic and don't even know it.
