Numbness in the Feet. Numbness in the feet is a loss of sensation or feeling in the feet, as a result of improper communication between the nerves and the central nervous system. Commonly foot numbness is attributed to a blood shortage in the foot. This occurs when someone is sitting cross-legged for an extended amount of time.
Pressure on peripheral nerves that arises from enlarged blood vessels, as well as tumors, can cause numbness or tingling in the legs or feet. Scar tissue and infection can also press on nerves, which can then cause numbness and a tingling sensation.
