A member asked:

I wore high heels for a day and my feet went numb for a day. i have demyelenation in my tibias. what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neuropathy: Sounds like you had some compression neuropathy in which you can get transient numbness from too much pressure being placed on a nerve. If you continue to apply this kind of pressure some permanent nerve damage may result. Wear better shoes which do not place so much pressure on the nerve.
