For people with peripheral neuropathy it signals that there is involvement of the motor nerves which are affecting the muscles.

I did work where there were periods of time of extreme strenuous exertion and high stress and never had them before my feet started going numb. I never heard of anyone at work having them either. I dont think they are all that common.
