  • any doctors out there?

    my right big toe has been numb for 'bout two days now.  dunno why-- can't seem to 'wake it up'. 

    doesn't hurt at rest~ doesn't hurt when i walk... don't remember kicking anything or hurting it...
    only thing that i can think of that could have caused it is my sitting positions during the last couple of days during my hours of studying (yes i study ).

    just numb at the tip of the toe and area from the nail surface and downwards...

    i did a little bit of googling on  "toe numbness"... and this is what i got...

  • yea everything looks normal. i don't feel pain at all.. not even like the tingling sensation that you feel when you are trying to wake a limb up that has fallen asleep... it's more just asleep.. can feel pressure.. just really weird.  i guess today is third day... and counting  ...
