Subject: RE: toe numbness I am not in the medical field, but I have discussed this recently with my doctor because I had some numbness in my toes while cycling (on my mountain bike, not tri-bike). It sounds to me that somehow the ski boots may have either pinched a nerve or slowed the blood flow causing the numbness. The fact that your toes are still numb weeks later may be a sign that you should probably have your doctor check it out. Before you go, however, you could always try some basic stretching of the foot and calf, foot massaging (especially around the metarsal heads and by rolling the foot over a tennis ball) and the exercise where you pick up a towel with your toes (bare foot). If that doesn't help I would definitely see your doctor. |
