What Causes Numbness In The Foot After Having A Leg Amputated?
I have only one foot due to a leg amputation when I was 10. I am luckily VERY ambulatory, active, and healthy. I have worn a prothesis my whole life. Recently I have found my one foot falling asleep WHILE I am exercising on the treadmill. I find that odd given the level of activity and use. I can shake it out and get back to my workout, but it is not an immediate fix.
