Is Legs Feeling Numb and Tingly a Warning Sign of Vascular Disease?

Posted September 15, 2022

Numbness and tingling feeling in your legs and feet is a fairly common disorder experienced by many. It can cause unpleasant, persistent, and disabling pain and discomfort.

However, the bad news is if the tingling sensation and numbness persist, that may be a sign of an underlying medical condition, including vascular diseases such as peripheral artery disease (PAD). 

It can also result from other conditions, including multiple sclerosis, poor posture, diabetes, and fibromyalgia.

The sensation may get felt around the ankle and foot or in the whole leg.

  • Difficulty standing or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Non-healing wounds (ulcers)
  • Critical limb ischemia – an extreme condition caused by insufficient blood flow that may eventually require amputation
  • Stroke – 3X more likely in patients with P.A.D.
