A member asked:

My pinky toe on my right foot had been numb for the past 2 days. what are some possible reasons for this? should i be concerned?

Should see MD if not: It could be due to pressure on the nerve in the foot. Have you tried any new shoes which may cause the symptoms if they are too tight. If the area of the numbness increases or does not get better needs to evaluated.

Maybe: It could be as simple as your shoes are too tight. It also could be a sign of a pinched nerve in your back. Monitor this and if it is getting worse, see a podiatrist.
