Do You Have Numb Toes?

Numb toes result from damage to the nerves.

The causes are numerous and are frequently accompanied by a burning sensation as well.

To determine the potential cause of your numb toes, you should analyze your symptoms. And then, treat the cause. You may need to see a healthcare professional.

Our feet go through a lot of stress everyday. We need to take good care of them, so they can continue to serve us well.

Do you have other symptoms?

Does the skin on your feet peel? Do you have calluses?

It’s good to look at the less serious causes which can lead to your toes feeling numb. By doing so, you can eliminate them before worrying about the more serious causes.

Here are a few reasons you may have numb toes. Consider them and then contact a medical professional for a more in-depth diagnosis.

• Poor fitting shoes: A bad pair of shoes can cause your toes to feel numb. They can put pressure on the toes and cause pain and numbness.
• Bunions: Do you have a bump at the base of the toe? It may be a bunion. They can cause extreme pain and numbness.
• Gout: Often neglected as one of the reasons for numb toes. You will need professional help for this diagnosis.
• Compression of the Nerve: A nerve may get compressed due to many reasons. Either your shoe is hurting your toes for a very long period of time or you may have experienced injury to your toes.
• Diabetes: Diabetics frequently have numb toes. If you suffer from diabetes, then you should not neglect these symptoms. Your diabetes may be causing the numbness.
• Cervical Spondylosis: The bones and cartilages in the backbone and neck can deteriorate gradually, causing back pain, stiffness or spasms. A nerve can get compressed due to cervical spondylosis, which can cause numbing of the toes.
• Inflamed Bone: The reasons for inflammation of a bone in your toes can be arthritis or a part of the bone may be hitting a nerve in the toe.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: This condition is common to people who are diabetic or who smoke. Your large and small blood vessels get damaged, leading to harm and/or damage of the nerves. Peripheral Neuropathy causes numbness in all the extremities. If this condition is not treated, it can possibly mean losing control of your limbs.

You should find the exact cause that your toes go numb and get it treated in time. If it is a severe problem, it can cost you your limb. Have it examined by a health care professional as soon as possible. Preventative care is less painful and cheaper than the alternative.
