I have a problem with my left foot. It is losing flexibility, and some.numbness in the the toes. When standing or sitting with both feet flat on ground, I can raise my right foot up son the ball of foot rises a few inches of the ground, but cannot make my.left rise. Assuming I should seen a doctor, should I see my regular physician or a foot specialist?
Dear patient stiffness in left foot with tingling may point towards arthritis in toe joints may be inflammatory or gouty.  X-ray of the left foot anteroposterior and oblique views will help in confirmation of diagnosis. Visit to foot specialist is recommended. Meanwhile, tab ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for pain relief should be started.
