What Causes Numbness On Tip Of Toes?
I am 70 years old, I am not diabetic. For the past several months I ve noticed a numbness on tips of both of my great toes. In addition I notice some discomfort (like my shoes are too tight on my toes), in fact I now much prefer open toed sandals. No sign of hammer toes, but arches have fallen, and it s now difficult to find comfortable shoes. What is going on with me? I m otherwise very healthy, but do need to get more exercise. Thanks, Allan

Hi.
As per your case-history you may be having symptoms due to vitamin b12 deficiency. My treatment advice-
1. Have a healthy diet full of green leafy vegetables, milk, pulses.
2. Take tablet vitamnin b12 1500mcg once at night.
3. For faster recovery Inj.Vitamin b12 once a week can be taken.
Thanks.
