Why There Is A Numbness In Toe After Sleep?
Over the past couple of weeks, I ve noticed that the 4th toe on my right foot feels numb (asleep), especially noticed after arising from bed after a nap or night s rest. I m 60, very active, in great health, very fit and don t wear tight shoes or high heels. Any ideas why?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the given history is suggestive of poor posture during the sleep and this might be causing some kind of compression in the spinal cord region particularly in vertebral disk, try to maintain the good posture, and no need to worry about this it will be fine soon, hope this information helps you, take care and have nice day.
