What should I do if my big toe is numb?
See your doctor right away if toe numbness occurs after an accident or head trauma. Both gradual and immediate onset toe numbness can signal a serious medical condition. If you have any of the following symptoms and partial toe numbness, call your doctor: problems with vision, such as immediate onset blurriness.
What does it mean if only your big toe is numb?
Big toe numbness can also be caused by things like poor circulation or even a pinched nerve between the toes themselves, but it’s more commonly due to a nerve, specifically the L5 spinal nerve in the lower back as this is the nerve that branches all the way from the spine down to the big toe (1).
