What Does A Sensation Of Something Being Stuck Between Toes Indicate?

default
Posted on Mon, 8 Sep 2014
Question: I'm 32 and in good health. For the past week I have had the sensation of something being stuck between my third and fourth toe on my left foot. No pain or tingling, just a sensation that something is there. I do have high arches and have had plantar fasciitis in the past. I develop foot pain easily if I don't wear very supportive shoes such as skechers shape ups. I never wear high heels.

Can you advise on what is going on with me?

Thank you!
