My little toe :(

[katie]

Ok this probably doesnt need a whole new thread but im a little bit worried

I was doing bar work all weekend at a festival and have been on my feet for 2 days straight. Half of my little toe on one foot is numb today, gahhhh! I hope it is ok, and will come back to life by tomorrow. Has this ever happened to anyone? I should have worn more comfortable shoes really

This has happened to me too - though I'm pretty sure I broke this toe a while ago so it's more susceptible to this numbness. It happens sometimes when I exercise - the little bugger just goes numb. But it comes back eventually (I think, or maybe I just forget it exists!!)

Which festival were you working?

 

[katie]

Thanks, hopefully it will come back to life then :/ lol

It wasn't an exciting festival im affraid, just a local one It was good fun though.

 

[Munjeeta]

Oh no! Poor little toe! I'm trying to think if I've ever had numbness but I can't remember... I'm sure it'll come round, just make sure you get it checked out if it doesn't in a day or 2!

 

[katie]

Yeah I will do, ive already got a GP appointment coming up. I just panicked after all the scary posts weve had on here lately 😛

Hi Twin , dont worry !! I get it all the time from wearing high heels !! i never learn , the feeling will come back , sometimes it can take a few days to get back to normal tho.

oh pheeeew. I wasnt wearing the most comfortable shoes in the world, so I think that must be it. I would never have worried about this kind of thing usually, but this place has made me paranoid haha

Tsk! Me too! Erm....

I ran the Hague half-marathon shortly before I was diagnosed and ALL my toes went numb - it took them a couple of days to recover, but I still get numbness in them after a run.

Hope the toe is better and you got on OK with the doctor.

Yes well as Ive been told by certain people (YOU!) get it sorted out !! better to feel like a hypocondriac than to leave it !! , let me know how it goes 🙂🙂

I fogot to mention... I couldn't get an appointment for 2 weeks 😱 So it will probably be cured by the time I get there 🙄 I do need to go for another reason though, so it's ok.

Haha, yes twin. I will let you know how it goes 🙂

If it's realy bothering you and you can't wait two weeks to see doctor, you can always go into A&E. You could be there for ages, but you get seen today and not in two weeks time.

I agree it is better to seem like a hypocondriack than sit and worry needlessly!

Hi katie, my GP surgery has an 'open house' where you just go along without an appointment and see whichever doctor comes free first. I usually prefer to see one particular GP though and usually have to wait a week or two for an appointment. Alternatively, is there an NHS walk-in centre you could go to? Or, might it be a good idea to ring NHS Direct to see if they have any suggestions? Explain that you are diabetic and worried about it as it doesn't seem to be getting better.

I'm back in this thread to moan again 😉

I'm almost worried enough to phone nhs direct or go to an emergency appointment. I just reeeaaally can't imagine what they would do about it?? lol.

Ive looked up the symptoms on the internet and diabetic neuropathy keeps comeing up, nooooo surely I can't have any so soon? I'm worried.

ring up on monday and say that you really need to be seen, hopefully they will be able to set your mind at ease. When was the last time that you had a feet check?
