foot numbness

Tingling lower limb

Foot numbness is a loss of sensation in the foot, often described as a pins-and-needles feeling or complete absence of feeling.

It commonly results from poor circulation, nerve compression, or sitting in one position too long: I had foot numbness after kneeling for an hour.

Persistent numbness may indicate conditions like diabetes or peripheral neuropathy.
