Question:

My big toes gone numb and I'm wondering if I should be concerned!?

I was at a festival at the weekend and my feet were freezing for most of the day - now that I've been back for over two days, I still have a numbness in one of my big toes and was wondering if there is any need to be concerned. There's no discolouration or anything. it's just numb!! Any advice would be great!!

No new shoes, but my feet got wet and my feet were in damp socks for a good few hours, and was wondering if this could be causing it.


Answers:

I had a numb big toe for several months once!

It was when i was working for my first airline as crew and the shoes i had to wear were high and pointy. They squashed up my feet. One of my big toes went numb and when i left the airline, it stayed numb, as i said for a few months.

I never went to a doctor, and the feeling came back eventually.

Perhaps this can happen if you damage a nerve?

I'm sure it will be ok - as long as there is no pain. Check that there is blood flowing into it by pinching it - if goes white and then when you release the blood comes back, then it should be fine!

Good luck!
