And can anything be done to limit or relieve this numbness?

The farther I walk the more numb my feet get.

I have tingling and numbness in my feet mostly around the toe area right now the research that I've done says that numbness is a symptom of ET, my doctor said that I have neuropathy associated with other health conditions not diabetes he put me on gabapentin but since mine's not that bad I don't take it. I hope this helps. God bless

Have never had this. I don’t see how ET would be the cause.
