How To Treat The Lost Of Feelings In Both The Feet?
My mother who is 74 years old, loses the feeling in both feet while she is sleeping and she can't walk on them until she gets the feeling back. Wondering what can cause this, as she does have bad varicose vains in both legs, which she wears support socks even during the night. Please give me some advice if you can. Thank you.

Thanks for reference,
1. Looses the feeling? I think you are referring to some paresthesia or altered sensation.
Varicose vein may be a cause.
Several other condition like blood circulation problem (atherosclerosis etc), Vitamin B12 deficiency, skin condition (varicose also contribute) in it.
2. The elderly patient with this condition needs physical consultation and follow up.
