What Can Be The Reason For Numbness In Foot?
I am at the point where I will have to schedule in the real near future for knee replacement and I have been having symptoms of foot numbness on the outside of my left foot by my little toe. I always have swelling in my knee and when I go in to see my orthopedic doctor he has to aspirate it. Could the fluid in my knee be causing numbess in my foot??
