Either therapy or pharmaceutical. I get this problem mostly for a couple of hours after my evening Ldopa dose (1800, 200 mg equivalent in a mix of slow and normal release). Thanks.
I have dealt with my numbness in my hands and feet for over twenty five plus years due to the chemo I had when I had breast cancer. I use essential oils plus magnesium creme. I have used the oils for years I rub it on my feet especially tumeric, and Francisence then I rub my hands together
There are times I wish I had numbness in my feet. I have severe discomfort in the bottom of my feet feels like I'm'walking on gravel. I have found relief from standing in a turkey pan full of ice. It's wonderful love it. Sounds crazy but it works for me and I use support hose because of the what they say is restless leg syndrome. I have another name for it little things crawling up and down my inside of my legs it feels crazy it's not painful it's just irritating and it makes it where you just cannot get comfortable so hence turkey pan ice. Of course that's just me Elizabeth Ann
I have neuropathy in my feet so they stay numb
Has anyone found relief for numbness in the feet related to Parkinson's medication?
The numbness you're experiencing a couple of hours after your evening levodopa dose sounds like it could be related to how your medication is working in your system. This timing suggests it might be connected to motor fluctuations.

Lotion that contains peppermint & lavender - the actual herbs, not just the fragrances - apply in an upward direction from the toes toward the knees. Walking in a swimming pool, especially a mineral pool, best is a mineral hot springs pool, but any pool is good. A bath with mineral salts works good too.
