I was reading the forum on my phone. I saw a thread where someone was concerned about numbness in his feet progressing from one foot to the other but where the tests so far had revealed nothing.

I can't find it again now . So this post is to alert the guys. I know that regaine is a pretty good treatment for preventing/ reducing the development of baldness. Its topical and you rub it on your head . One of the side effect after a few months use is peripheral numbness. Happened to someone I knew, he stopped that regaine and regained feeling in his feet.

No idea if this is relevant to the poster, who I spotted was male before losing he thread so this is just a heads up for anyone with numbness !
 
Interesting. The FDA say this about the side effects of minoxidil, the active ingredient.

Summary
There is no Peripheral neuropathy reported by people who take Men's rogaine yet. We study 2,148 people who have side effects while taking Men's rogaine from FDA.
It might be useful to report it to https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/ as they don't seem to have any reports of that particular side effect. Mind you, they don't seem to have anything for atorvastatin either and I'd be surprised if that hadn't been reported. There again, maybe it hasn't, I have to admit that I expected so many reports from others, I haven't bothered.
