question: Hi, my name is Christen. I have been experiencing a very subtle and minor numbness in my big toe, no pins and needles feeling, but I can definitely tell it feels unusual. I first noticed it back in February of this year but it was never major enough to bother me. Just felt numb when I touched it with my fingers or other foot. Today however it has been more prominent and it looks swollen compared to my right big toe which feels completely normal. My right foot has been in a medical boot due to a sprained ligament. I also work retail and spend most of the day on my feet in flat sandals that really don t offer much support. I m wondering if I should ice this to reduce the swelling or take an anti inflammatory? I know numbness is not a common thing for the big toe and I am worrying myself even more by looking up symptoms and causes on the internet. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it!
