Tingling in the heel when my mum wakes up, what can it be?What would you like to ask?

Question

when my mum wakes up she has this tingle in her heel (she does have polioathorises (hope i spelt it right!)), but when she starts walking it goes away.. until the next morning when she gets up again...

is it something to worry about. I know that his type of tingling can have something to do with a nerve...

Thanks for your answers!!

Answer 1

I think you are referring to "Paresthesia".  Any type of tingling is usually a symptom related to a nerve being damaged, injured, or diseased. This tingling can be more than annoying and could indicate a more serious medical condition.  Your Mum should seek professional help.  There are many causes for this tingling and only a doctor can tell her the exact cause after running tests.
