A member asked:
Can poor blood flow be making my body numb?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible.: Poor or compromised blood flow, such as that which occurs in the microcirculation from diabetes, can lead to neuropathy and numbness. This usually occurs first in the feet and hands, and progresses up toward the trunk of the body. This condition is called diabetic neuropathy.
