Question

Answer 1

Numb toe: You need an evaluation to determine the cause of the numbness first. When a diagnosis has been established, you doctor can plan a treatment for you.

Answer 2

Depends: Numbness of the toes can have several causes. Have it evaluated by your podiatrist. If the numbness comes and goes, then it may be treatable. If the numbness is constant, it is more difficult and may not be something that will resolve. Dr l.

Answer 3

Numb toe: Numb toe can be caused by alot of things. Need to rule out things like neuropathy, nerve entrapment or maybe even a lower back disc problem. Get checked out by a podiatrist.

Answer 4

Yes: Babies in the womb usually have their feet pointed in and they don't start to straighten them until they get older and start using their legs more. If your child is starting to walk and tripping due to their feet turning in, talk with your doctor.

Answer 5

No: Most babies have pretty straight feet and toes. Some babies have mild variations in the shape and direction of the feet and/or some toes . . . But these feet are still considered "normal". At the routine check ups, parents should show the doctor the baby's feet and toes, and discuss any concerns. In a few cases, a specialist will need to look at the feet.

Answer 6

Possible desmoid?: Most fibromatoses of the foot occurs on the bottom (plantar) surface. There is a type of benign tumor that is very invasive called a desmoid fibromatosis or desmoid tumor. I would be concerned that a lump on the top (dorsal) surface of the foot could be this, which is aggressive. A ganglion cyst is another possibility. See a doctor for possible imaging and biopsy.

Answer 7

None: Most fibromas of the foot occur on the bottom. You may be seeing a ganglion.

Answer 8

Lesions: Brown discoloration on the skin can be a multiple of problems, best to have evaluated by either a podiatrist or dermatologist. If you are a diabetic, these are associated with use of metformin "leaking" iron in your bloodstream and skin. Otherwise, the possibility of melanoma exists.

Answer 9

Vascular: Sometimes we see color changes that stain the skin. Venious stasis, chronic swelling.

Answer 10

SAME: If they look the same on both feet, the most likely reason is venous insufficiency.

Answer 11

Depends on a lot: Rest will not make a spur go away. Allevating the pressure on the toe which caused the spur to form is the key. If the area is inflammed and sore, rest may be helpful for a while. If the cause is not addressed, then the problem will return in a short time. The problem could be shoe pressure or pressure from another toe or another deformity.

Answer 12

No time: If you have the spur removed you should be able to do minimal walking the same day.

Answer 13

Until pain is gone: When you have a spur, usually on the big toe everytime you bend the toe p you cause trauma and pain, try to avoid this movement if possible.

Answer 14

Wake them up: If this happens often, this means you have neuropathy and should be evaluated by a doctor. If it happens after sitting in a certain position it is occurring as a result of pressure neuropathy and you should not sit in that position or not for a long time.

Answer 15

Multiple answers: If your feet fall asleep this may be due to several reasons. Shoes too tight, sitting on your feet, poor circulation or nerve compressions to your feet. You really need to see your podiatrist for why this is happening along with treatment options.
