For about a month now, I've been having problems with my big toe on my right foot. Seems it's numb on one side... starting at the tip of the toe, around the side and stops about where it attaches to my foot. At first I thought it might be an ingrown toenail, but a visit to a nail doctor resulted in a $25 copay fee and a "I dunno" from the doc. I was hoping it would eventually go away, but it's really annoying me. No pain involved, just the lack of sensation on the left/outer side of the toe... Picture a foot shoved into a shoe... any skin on my big toe that comes in contact with the inside of the shoe... is numb. No discoloration No pain No ingrown nail WTF ??? Any ideas ??? |
Everything else seems/feels normal. No weakness in my legs or numbness elsewhere... just the outer/exposed portion of the big toe... The doc I spoke to originally thought it might be the shoes I wear, but I've tried wearing boots, sneakers, slippers, etc... to work and had no change... Same numb feeling. |
I would get an MRI |
