toe numbness
(3 discussions)
My son’s big toe became numb after wearing steel-toe boots.
The numbness has remained has been four or more weeks.
Could this be nerve damage, and is there anything that can be done to remedy this problem?
His work demands that he be on his feet.
He has since stopped wearing the boots.
Thanks!A Concerned Mom

If a nerve has been injured only slightly, then after a period of time (weeks to months) it may return to normal. It is not a quick recovery.
