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.
Numbness in the foot, called peripheral neuropathy, is caused by a lack of blood supply or some type of damage to the nerves. This numbness can be permanent or transient. Numbness is a lack of feeling in the foot that can be associated with a prickling sensation, pins and needles, or burning feelings in the foot called paresthesias. Permanent numbness in the feet can lead to problems with standing, walking and driving.
