A member asked:

Only four toes in left leg in new born baby can she walk normally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: They seem to do fine with this. Most of the structure that supports walking is actually the forefoot/midfoot & heal. The toes are expendable. I have seen this occasionally from the amniotic band disruption sequence. Your concerns are not unusual.

I woke up to numbness in my left leg from hip to toe. I can walk, but it tickles in some way. I have only a collapsed arch on my right foot. I massaged my leg and nothing has changed. Sciatica may be what it is. If so, what do I do?
