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.

You should make an appointment with your doctor to have it looked at.\n\nIt could be from something as harmless as a blunt trauma to the toe, which often takes a while to work itself out and effect the nails.\n\nBut it could also be a symptom of some more serious problem or fungus.

If you have a blood circulation problem, or a blood disorder such as diabetes, that is causing your numb feet, don't take any medications or over-the-counter remedies without consulting your doctor first. If you are already taking medication for this problem you have to be careful what else you take with it. The pharmacist at the drugstore can also help you with this. Talk to him/her about it.

You may be having some circulation problems.  I would suggest that you see a doctor as soon as you can.  Especially if the foot that is cold is very white, turning blue or you are loosing feeling in it.  It could be very serious.

If your certain your not diabetic than it is time to see a Dr. and get a referal to a specialist.\nWhat you describe suggests reduced circulation and there are many conditions that this symptom can be attributed to.\n\nNeuropathy or the pain from it responds well to a med called Neurontin.\nBut I am guessing you have been treated since you seem to know the name of your condition?\n\nThis could be anything from wearing tight heels to a vascular/heart condition.\nPlease pursue this with your doctor.

possibly poor circulation?

The only thing I can think of is a heel spur.  They can occur on the bottom of the feet as well as the back and side.  I think an MRI is your best bet.  I had major foot problems in my left foot for 4 years and took care of it over a year ago.  Don't let it go too long.  You depend on your feet to get you from point A to point B.  GOOD LUCK!!

You should probably go see your surgeon.  They probably need to do a CT scan or MRI and see if you have a compressed or damaged nerve.

Not true.  I x-ray people regularly who have had their big toe removed.  Unfortunately, this happens in diabetics most often.  They can still walk.  There is an adjustment period as they get used to walking on a "different" foot, but they do walk.

you may have some swelling (whether you can see it or not).  this can cause numbness by putting pressure on the nerves.  Suspect it would go away.  If it lasts longer than 2 weeks it could be direct nerve injury...but I wouldnt think so.

Yes...actually the big toe is the only thing that is required for balance....so hopefully you have one of thoes !!

You may have broken your toe.  I've broke that toe three times!\n\nTape that toe to the toe next to it.  That's all they do if it is broken.  That will help with the pain, but it will be sore for a few days.\n\nIf your foot stays sore, you may have broken a bone in it, you'll need a doctor to X-ray that.

There's really nothing you can do for toes. Just make an anatomical splint. (Tape the broken one to the toe beside it.)

sounds like it could be what we call in the medical field a stress fracture.  these are  hairline fractures in the bone and can be linked with weakened cartilige, and tendons.  most of us use our right foot as the dominant foot.  we put lots of pressure on it, much more than we weigh. we do this because in the back of our heads, the dominant foot has never failed us.  in some cultures, pain in the right foot is a sign of strength.  however, on the flip side of western medicine, you may have an arch problem.  wear a great pair of running shoes like Saucony.  Wear these all the time for about three or four weeks.  They work the arch as well as support it, and when the arch is supported, the top of the foot needs to compensate less.  try it! oh, and there is nothing that needs to be done if it is indeed a stress fracture. they are usually so small, we don't even know we have them many times.  and, use a epsom salt soak for the foot at night four times a week.

Possible suggestions, pinched nerves, carpal tunnell, symptoms of diabetes;   If there is any numbness in your arm, you need to call the Doc tonight especially if the hand is cold or discolored.  Your circulation might be restricted-depending on your age, and other health issues, this doesn't sound right--I probably wouldn't wait till morning.
