Overview
Numbness and tingling are abnormal sensations that can occur anywhere in the body, but they are often felt in the fingers, hands, feet, arms, or legs. MedlinePlus lists causes that include pressure on a nerve, carpal tunnel syndrome, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. A health care provider should find and treat the cause.

When to seek care
MedlinePlus says to go to a hospital or call 911 if numbness or tingling comes with weakness or an inability to move, follows a head, neck, or back injury, or comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, confusion, slurred speech, a change in vision, or trouble walking. Contact a provider if the numbness or tingling has no obvious cause.
