Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Numbness can be due to pinched nerve, poor circulation, faulty foot wear, diabetic neuropathy, leprosy, nerve injury, multiple sclerosis and frost bite. This needs to be investigated before a final cause can be pin pointed.
Hope this helps. Take care!

When was the last time, if ever, that your blood sugar was checked?  I would have my doctor do a fasting blood sugar on me.  Sometimes people have diabetes and don't know it until they start having complications.  Problems with their feet are very common.
