A member asked:
What should i do as a teen girl with recurring numbness in my toes? according to a quick checkup by my pediatrician no circulation or sensory problems
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness in toes: Frequently girls/ladies will wear shoes that pinch the front of the feet and this puts pressure to the nerves that run between the metatarsal heads (ball of feet) and this can make the area feel numb. This can become very painful over time. Squatting, tip toes and tight shoes should be avoided. Your local podiatrist can quickly get to the bottom of this for you. Good luck.
