I think my shoes were too tight and now my pinky toe has been slightly numb for a couple days. should i be concerned?

Toe Can't Win This.: Slightly numb is a warning, that if this activity continues, further problem will present themselves. Further nerve damage, cellulitis, bursa formation, callous and possibly bone spur formation are just a few to think about. Best to make a shoe adjustment than a toe adjustment.
