I was sort of hoping the numbness would go away on its own. They've been numb for well over a week now though. I can't feel them very well.

Have you been wearing shoes that don't give them enough room? Even when you're kneeling? And...if you pinch the toes, what does that feel like?

This was my first thought because I damaged the nerves in a big toe years ago by wearing too-small shoes. Amazingly the nerve damage went away - I didn't think that could happen.

P.S. I have a rash on my face and one of my eyes is nearly swollen shut - any thoughts?

Yeah I was thinking it was the shoes. When I pinch em it's like numb feeling. I think I need to go up a size or two I am thinking

Are you allergic to anything- and have you been eating it if you are? Allergies. Perhaps a reaction to something.

My grandma takes a lot of pain meds and she is diabetic. She can barely walk. Possible for me idk. My diet is pretty okay I think. I was on neurontin for a bit but more for mental stuff.

Yeah, and make sure they're wide enough at the toes, too, if you have wide feet.

I got some Bendadryl and took that over the weekend. The rash is quite a bit better. Still not entirely sure what caused it, but the best guess is something on my hair, because I noticed that the rash is follows the places where my hair touches my skin. Help, I'm allergic to my hair! (jk)

Possibly something in a shampoo or conditioner

I ordered some new shoes so I will see how they fit. Not sure about how wide my feet are. Not sure about most things when it comes to clothing.
