Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Have you gotten your blood sugar checked. Are you diabetic. Get your blood lipids checked as well as there could be fat causing decreased perfusion of the nerves. Peripheral neuropathy can occur even due to high uric acid in blood. You have to keep them in normal range. Drink plenty of water. Eat fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Do regular exercise. You can massage the toe for relief to increase local blood supply. Get the investigations requested and be safe.
