A member asked:
Small area on left big toe on the bottom has been numb for a year- nowhere else. started with bad shoes and just never resolved.is the nerve ruined?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve injury: A numb spot after wearing bad shoes that is still there after a year may never recover due to permanent nerve injury. It is possible that it is due to neuropraxia which is a stunned nerve if you have a biomechanical imbalance. I would have it evaluated
