Hello Doctor,

 

I feel a fine vibration in my right toe area only, with no other symptoms. I threw out my back two days ago, and since then, I've felt this tingling come and go randomly. What could this be?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

The sensation you're describing could be due to a minor impingement of a nerve in your back, which is not uncommon after a back injury. The good news is that this condition often improves over time. To aid recovery, focus on back rest, muscle strengthening, and range of motion exercises. Physical therapy may be beneficial if needed. If the symptoms worsen or persist, consult your physician for further evaluation.

 

Thanks
