What Causes Recurring Numbness In Toe Of A 8 Year Old?
Every since I had my son (eight years ago) I have experienced off and on Numbness on the left side of my second toe on my left foot. Could the epidural I had be the cause to this? If not, what could the cause be. It is something that comes and goes - could I have a pinched nerve somewhere?

Hello. I just read through your question.
Numbness and tingling can be due to either a neurologic issue, such as a pinched nerve, or a blood circulation issue. The causes are numerous. Because the area involved is so small, it is not something to be overly concerned about. However, it is important to discuss this with your doctor to make sure you do not have a problem that may spread to their parts of your body.
