Numbness In Feet, Ankles
Updated
Polly Says:
I've been taking Invokana 300 for about 19 months. Lately I've noticed slight numbness in my toes and ankles. I've also recently heard that Invokana is associated with increased toe, foot, and leg amputation. I've read that you should report new pain or tenderness in those areas but wondering if the numbness is also a concern. Has anyone reading this experienced this?

Hello, Polly! How are you?
You can really never go wrong reporting any new issues to your doctor, just to be safe. Honestly, most of them have heard it all and are ready to deal with whatever is thrown their way. If a doctor gets upset over it, then it is time to move on to a new doctor.
Going by NIH reports, as well as my experience with my ex-husband being diabetic, this symptom could be related to the medication, or to your diabetes, so it is best to have it checked out, since it may signal that you are experiencing nerve damage, according to NIH reports.
Has there been any change?
