Nerve compression: Is a possibility, one must find the level of the compression. Can be local as in neuroma or higher up like in the back. Systemic disease like diabetes is a possibility. Sometimes, docs can't find the cause. Either what get checked out early. You want to try and correct this before it gets worse.
