No feeling in my big toe.
by Theresa
Hello, I am 29 years old. I have lost feeling in my big toe on my left foot. Nothing I do helps circulation or anything. the toe looks good and moves when needed but when I touch and wiggle it feels looser than the other? I was just diagnosed with carple tunnel and some nerve damage in right hand but assume they are not related? Help, is this urgent? Theresa Hi Theresa, They are probably not related. Usually numbness in the big toe especially in a young person is due either to local nerve irritation in the toe or perhaps an irritation of one of the nerves that comes out of your spine. If this condition lasts more than a few weeks I would suggest a visit to a podiatrist who should be able to make a more accurate diagnosis. Marc Mitnick DPM
