A member asked:
Sudden, random numbness mostly on side of feet/pinky toes, numbness sometimes spreads to other toes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
S1 nerve irritation: Can be caused by high heeled shoes which are too tight. Nubness on the outside foot and small toe can also be caused by irritation of the S1 nerve root, sometimes by a disc protrusion at L5-S1 which can give back pain, or leg pain or both.
