[QUOTE="Gardevoir, post: 2649731, member: 573109"] As for my last post within this thread, I'd like to confirm that this was unrelated to diabetes. I deal with a lot of physical weight at work. I noticed that my toes would receive a lot of pressure while attempting to balance myself/push against weight. This caused the nerves in my big toes to basically become crushed by this weight over time without it hurting. I work with 8000-12000 kg for ~45 minutes 4-5 days every week. Since 2 weeks ago, I also noticed the same spot on my other foot's big toe becoming numb as well. This also explains why my right toe's numb spot got slightly bigger from when I first noticed it; I didn't associate it with what I was doing at work, therefor not avoiding the problem. I've changed the way I balance myself by using my entire foot (like I should've from the start) and have seen an improvement in my stance. Not only is it more comfortable and easy to work that way but my physique also feels better and I feel less exhausted afterwards. Always be careful with your sensitive finger(tips) and feet. I hope this'll come in handy may others stumble across this thread. [/QUOTE]
