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.
When the legs and feet experience a deficit in the amount of blood flowing in their veins, plaque or cholesterol can build up. This can cause atherosclerosis in the legs and feet, and cause pain, tingling, and numbness. This is a problem for diabetics in particular; this condition is known as diabetic neuropathy. People who have frostbite also can have numbness and tingling in the feet because of the lack of blood flowing to the extremities. Medical Conditions
