A member asked:

I've noticed it happens often but my left toes go numb sometimes and just now my big left toe became numb and was completely white. why is this?

Weather and shoes: If the weather is cold ur micro circulation could shut down. R u a cigarette smoker? For every cigarette u smoke ur circulation shuts down for four hours. As far as the numbness is concerned it usually comes from shoes squeeZing
