It could be: This very could be neuropathy. Usually there is no weakness. I recommend you see a neurologist and get electro diagnostic studies performed.

Possibly: See a healthcare pro like your family doc, a neurologist, or a podiatrist for a thorough exam to establish a likely diagnosis.

Neuropathy: Pain and tingling in toes can be neuropathy, but if it radiates along the leg, particularly in the thigh one needs to be concerned about a radiculopathy, or pinched nerve. Neuropathy is usually relatively symmetric in both legs, so if it's only in one leg, it's less likely to be neuropathy.

Yes and No.: Neuropathy...At it's simplest definition means nerves not working right...So you have 'neuropathy'. But that doesn't indicate permanent nerve damage by any means. Possible sources: lower back / spinal nerve impingement or sciatica. It can be coming from the feet/toes but if it radiates up the leg...And is only one one side....The source is often higher up.

Tingling in toes : Tingling in toes that radiates along the leg sounds like a form of neuropathy. Neuropathy can be caused by many things including injury, diabetes, thyroid disease, neuromuscular diseases such as ms or a vitamin deficiency. If any condition like this is persistant i would recommend that you see your primary care physician, podiatrist, or neurologist for evaluation.

POSSIBLY: Need EMG from neurologist to determine if peripheral neuropathy or not.
