Hi.Am 22 years old and live in Mauritius. I rarely wear very high heels and usually i feel comfortable in the shoes i wear. But a week ago i wear a high heel shoes for around 3 days and started feeling some discomfort while i was wearing it. Now i feel that my 3rd toe in my left leg has gone numb. Am not sure if this happened after wearing the high heel shoes or it was there before but i didn`t pay attention to it. I remember once i was washing my legs and felt like a tingling sensation in that toe. Otherwise my other toes and my right leg is fine. What can cause this?Why am i feeling this numbess?Can it be due to lack of water in the body?
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! Your symptoms could be related to a pinched nerve, probably due to uncomfortable shoes. For this reason, I would recommend using orthopedic shoes for the next weeks. If the numbness persists, I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
