📖What is Numbness?

Numbness is a loss of normal sensation in a part of the body, often described as a feeling of pins and needles, tingling, or complete lack of feeling. It can affect a small area, like fingertips, or a larger region, such as an entire limb or one side of the body. Numbness may be temporary, such as from sitting in one position too long, or persistent, pointing to a nerve or circulation problem.
