What Causes Increasing Pain And Numbness In Toes?

I am finding an increase in the pain level in my toes combined with some numbness. The numbness has been occurring for almost 12 months now. I find that when I stretch my hips and on either side of my lower spine the pain retreats. It is worse when I sleep at night. When I am stretching my legs I can also feel a stretch in my upper spine - especially around the neck and shoulders. Have I got diabetes? Only one of the 10 signs on this cite is true for me - i.e numbness. Look forward to what you say.
Cheers,
Liti
