Numbness in toes and feet

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

You may have peripheral nerve damage- peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves. These are the nerves that connect your spinal cord to the rest of your body.

Causes can include:

Malnutrition
Compression
Cancer
Trauma
Inflammation
Infection
Toxins
Medications
Hereditary syndromes
Unknown causes

Diseases that can damage peripheral nerves include (but are not limited to):

Diabetes ( type 1 or type 2 )
Alcoholism
AIDS
Lyme disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Uremia from chronic kidney failure
Autoimmune disorders
Hypothyroidism
Viral infections (such as hepatitis )
Compression commonly occurs when nerves are pinched or trapped somewhere along their course, such as:

Carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve in the wrist)
Sciatica (nerve roots forming the sciatic nerve in the back of the legs as they exit the spine)

Anon - you will need to seek medical care to know more.

Best,
Susan
