What Causes Recurring Numbness And Tingling Sensation On The Ankle And Calf?
On the inside of my left ankle/calf I ve been having numbness and tingling there. It is not constant and comes and goes throughout the day. It doesn t hurt. I do run on the treadmill almost every day also so it might be related to that. If you could help a girl out and let me know what it might be that would be great.
