Good afternoon,My iron saturate level is at 17. Ive been having numbness and tingly sensations in my arms/hands and legs, more so in hands along with sporadic topical pain on my lower back and its sensitive to the touch. The pain in lower back started 2 months ago, stayed a few days and was gone until yesterday. Oh also restless leg syndrome throughout my body at night(2xs).My question is can my symptoms be related to the Iron levels or does this seem like a nerve issue?
Hi iron deficiency is not known to cause neural problems. However, similar neurological findings can be seen in B12 deficiency and that also causes anemia. It could also be due to multiple other reasons. A full workup is what I would advise like blood tests for he, cbc, it b12 levels and then EMG and NCS to see for other causes ruling out sensory naturopathies. I hope this helps wish you a healthy life ahead do let me know if you have any more questions for me
