About 3 weeks ago, I realized that the outer edge of my big toe had went numb.
I am not a dr. by any means, only have a personal story. Went to Cancun in march and danced..literally..a total of 18 hours in a 24 hour period. In HUGE ass high heels. My Left big toe was numb for about 2 months. My friend who went with me, her Right big toe was numb for the same amount of time..(the friends who dance together, get numb together..haha..o.k..bad joke) anyway..it DID eventually go away. But I called the dr. and they said that we had neuropathy or whatever. they also said if you can put pressure on the area, it turns white and then release and it goes back to pink pretty quick, then you ARE getting good blood supply and that is at least a good sign. Sorry, most of this may have been addressed-don't have time to read the whole thread.
