What Causes Foot Numbness And Calf Pain?
I hope so. I ve experienced numbness in my left foot earlier in the week while at work (sitting on a floor w/cardboard) assembling light fixtures. After soaking in epsom salt and some messaging, now I m experiencing pain in the left calf. What s going on?

Hi,
That sort of numbness after prolonged sitting occurs because of nerve compression, it usually goes off within few minutes but sometimes may persists for up to a week or two. Have some vitamin B-12 supplements, and keep doing range of movements of the affected part.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
