What Causes Occasional Numbness In The Toes?
Question: Occasional numbness and "funny feeling" in toes, mosly in evening or bed time. Normally, I do not notice these symptoms during the day time.
Brief Answer:
Could be due to muscle fatigue
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the mentioned details and it seems that such a thing could occur due to muscle fatigue and due to variation in electrolyte levels. I would not get too concerned about it.
Another possibility is that when you sit down and relax, your thighs rest on a hard surface thus compressing the nerves that supply the terminal parts of the lower limbs i.e. the toes. This could also lead to some tingling and numbness. Unless this is intense, I would not grow too concerned about this either.
