Deion Sanders has been facing serious health issues with his left foot primarily due to poor blood circulation and blood clots. He developed blood clots in his left leg, which led to severe complications requiring the amputation of his big toe and the toe next to it
. The circulation problems have persisted, putting him at risk of losing his entire left foot because the blood flow through the arteries in that foot has deteriorated significantly over the years, leaving only one artery partially functioning at about 66% capacity
. Additionally, Sanders experiences neuropathy (loss of feeling) on the bottom of his foot and persistent pain, which complicates his condition further
. His toes have also been affected by dislocation and friction against his shoes, causing pain and requiring multiple surgeries
. Despite these challenges, Sanders has been open about his condition and is considering further surgery to address ongoing issues before his coaching season intensifies
. In summary, the main problems with Deion Sanders' foot are chronic blood flow issues leading to amputations, neuropathy causing loss of sensation and pain, and complications from previous surgeries and dislocated toes
