You may have some nerve damage. However, in the meantime...until you get back home, just make sure you keep your feet covered so you don't bang your toe. \nYou can also try taking B Complex 100. The B vitamins help repair nerve damage while allowing you to handle more stress, too.\nTry wearing different shoes for a while & see if you notice a difference.

swelling can cause the nerves to go numb.\ndepends what you mean by a "lot" but it could be normal - like you arm or leg waking up after going to sleep. If in severe pain have it looked at - it might be broken

if it is not numb anywhere else but right where the area is, it could very well be just a hive. You know what that is, a sensitivity to something that has touched your skin. I get hives anywhere on my skin after I pet a dog. (I am allergic) . if it is a bite, look for puncture wounds in the mirror. if it has one tiny hole, it could have been a mosquito, if there is two, it may have been a spider. If it has no holes, you could have been stung by a bee or red ant. nonetheless, a simple mixture of baking soda, and regular water, with a dab of this paste it will draw out any venom if there is any, or if no luck, ( maybe its a zit) put visine on it. sounds odd, but it shrinks the blood vessels and removes the redness.

It sounds like just a bruise. You may have hit your funny bone causing tingliness and such. You have now gained all feeling back, which is good. Wait a day or two, and if its doesnt improve get it xrayed. If its not swollen, your fine.

possibly a nerve has been pinched or pressured..if it was discolored then it would be a blood circualtion issue that needs immediate attention...if it becomes discolored,swollen,hurting then see a doc...have you done any trauma to it??Such as stubbing it,dropped something on it,...this can cause a nerve to be impeded...

The people here can't see your problem.\nYou need to go back to see the doctor, or another one for a second opinion.  You probably did do some nerve damage, and it might take a bit to get feeling back, but time will only tell.  \nLike everyone said, go back to a doctor and make sure you are going to be ok.  Don't wait.  Better safe than sorry.

Can't offer any advice,only solidarity! My right thumbnail is similarly affected, has been for about 10 years (I'm 43).  I've never damaged it or cut it funny, but there's a definate groove running top to bottom, and the nail notches in slightly at the top.  There's also a faint line 5mm long - looks like a crack but isn't.\nDo you think there is a special Society we can join? ;-)

It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

It may be a sign of nerve damage.  See your doctor.

I would have it checked out by your local othopedic specialist. It could be something serious, or like your boyfriend said, a bone spur.

No, it's not normal!  Go back to your dentist and get x-rayed.  If he again says it's nothing, go to your doctor.  Something is clearly wrong that is causing the area to be inflamed (the swelling).

Sounds like a nerve has been pinched or a problem with the nerve.   go see a chiropractor or your doctor and let them know they will give you proper assesment.   If is is a pinched nerve or like that your chiropractor should be able to adjust it right away and the numbness should disappear fairly quickly.  If that doesn't work go see the doctor.

It could be a pinched nerve - you need to go see your family doctor first.  \n\nI have a numb big toe and it's caused by scar tissue that formed after my back surgeries and it's pinching a nerve to make the big toe numb. \n\nYou might have the same thing as me or it could be something totally different.  You need to see a doctor and have a complete work-up to find out what is causing your numb toe.\n\nDo you shoes fit correctly - sometimes that can cause numbness.  Good luck!

What kind of discoloration is it?  Could it be from the dye in your shoes? Do you have diabetes? If it is bluish, your shoes are way too tight and you're cutting off the circulation!!! Not good I don't care how cute the shoes are!!  Soak your feed in warm water, gently massage them with lotion and put on some socks.  If you still have the problem in a day or so, see a doctor.  Blessings.

This sounds like poor circulation on the left side of your body.  It could even be vindictive of something more serious, just as a brain injury, tumor, or nervious disorder such as muscular distrophy or parkinson's disease.  Don't just sit around and wait for it to go away, because you could have a claught which can be life threatening.  Goto your doctor, and like as soon as you can.  This could be life threatening, or not, don't panic just seek some professional advice.
