Senior Foot Numbness — Causes & Action
Quick Answer: Foot numbness in seniors is common but never normal. Causes include diabetes, B12 deficiency, lumbar stenosis, peripheral arterial disease. Always evaluated — early diagnosis prevents complications.
When to Get Help
Any persistent numbness needs evaluation. Sudden numbness with weakness or visual changes = ER (possible stroke). New numbness in diabetics needs same-week evaluation.
