Both of my big toes have been numb for about 3 months.

Sent to Health Experts June 28, 2006 1:00 p.m.

Both of my big toes have been numb for about 3 months. It does goes to the next two toes sometimes too. I've had this before and went to a neurosurgeon and he said it was lack of Vit. B, so I took neurobion. I've taken one pill morning and night for 2 months. The numbness has gone from the other toes, but my two big toes are still numb. Could it be something else?

Optional Information:
Female , Age: 61

Already Tried:
I've used neurobion.

You may have damage to the nerve going to your big toes. It is called neuropathy. Neuropathy may be caused by a variety of diseases or disorders. For example, a problem in nerves in the foot could be caused by diabetes. Other causes include vitamin deficiencies, hereditary disorders, inflammatory conditions, and exposure to toxic substances (including some medications) or alcohol. Diabetes is the most common cause.

I suggest to you to see a doctor for an evaluation , to find the cause and treatment accordingly.To read more about this subject please click the link just below:
