Default What word do you use to describe the 'numbness'?

I can't really call it numb because I can still feel my foot and it is fully functional but it's tingly and, well it feels like it's numb but with feeling. Am I making any sense. You can sure tell this nurse has lost a lot of her knowledge. My pain in my leg is almost gone but the numbness in my other leg isn't.

I took my Mom to the doctor yesterday. Their checkout system really needs to be revamped. It takes a lot of standing to make all the appointments. Then you have to go to Wendy's for lunch, stand in line there, and then take her home. She lives in a retirement home so there are a lot of ramps to accommodate the power scooters. So my foot was pretty beat when I got home. There also is a band around the fourth toe on the right foot. If it were just the pain in my left leg, I would cancel my appointment since the pain is almost gone. But I think I'll keep it due to the other leg. But I don't know what term to use about the leg.
