Question: I have numbness in toes on both feet. It feels like they are being squeezed in a vise. Sometimes I will experience a quick sharp pain like to was just poked with a needle. At night it can be really difficult to find a comfortable position to lie in. Any thoughts as to why I am experiencing this?
