What Causes Numbness In Feet During Sleep?
My left foot has been getting numb especially at night when it interferes with my sleep. Also, the muscle at the back of my left leg above my heel is uncomfortable when I m on my feet for a while. This all started about a week ago. I almost always wear shoes with 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 heels. The day this started, I wore flat shoes all day long (8 hours or so). I think my problems are related to the flat shoes. I have not had these problems in the past. What is your diagnosis? What should I do?

Hello,
It may be an early sign of peripheral vascular disease arising due to the poor blood supply to feet. Consult a physician and plan for a vascular Doppler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
