Toenail Fungus And Numbness

Updated

Hi everyone, so both my big toe nails hurt all the time, like there is a lot of pressure under my nails, and my big toenails grow up not out like normal. they look normal, other than them growing upwards a little, no colors, not swollen, no puss or any thing. also feel numb when I touch the tips of my toe and along the outside of my toe. Does any one know what might be going on?

I have the same exact thing going on with my 2nd toe. It's annoying and nothing gets rid of it. Why is it so hard to get rid of the weird fungus stuff..

Hello gendolyn,

You might want to have that looked at. Numb toes can be the result of a few things ranging from a pinched nerve to early signs of diabetes. I suspect that because of the combination of the toenail growing weird in addition to the toe being numb you might simply be wearing shoes that are too tight. I used to experience something similar when I used to wear sports shoes in High School. If your big toe is constantly rubbing against the top or side of your shoe it can put pressure on the nerves and result in temporary numbness (sometimes lasting weeks) and the toenail starts to grow wrong. In fact shoes that are too tight are one of the leading causes of ingrown toenails.

Again I think it would be wise to have a doctor take a look at it as it's always better to check in the event of worst case scenarios. If they tell you that it's simply the shoes being too tight at least you would have peace of mind and most likely a plan to resolving your issue.

Good luck.
