Q: numbness in toes
asked by: Cowboy58 on August 16th, 2009

Moderate numbness in toes of both feet for the last year. Feet have grown a size in the last year - I'm 58 years old. Been tested for everything (MRI, blood work, nerve conduction, scar tissue from back (L4-L5 discectomy) surgery 20 years ago, blood sugar, B-12 deficiency, MS, lupus, ALS, PSA count, etc.) No definitive diagnosis. Take Viagra once a week for last 6 months - could that be a contributor? Also, ride horses, run, lift weights.

Numbness in the feet
64 year old male with similar problem. The problem could be the running.
My numbness is between the big toe and the next toe on both feet. I had chemo a couple of years ago and bought a treadmill since I did not think I could continue to run outdoors. The doctor feels running on the treadmill is the problem since it's very repetitive vs. street running and has caused nerve damage.
Chemo drugs can be the cause neuroma's in the feet.
