For the last 6 weeks or so the tips of my big toes have been numb, what could be causing this?

I am a nurse, I reckon one of numerous things really. Bad backs can cause sensation loss to toes if a nerve from the spine is trapped by a slipped disc (may not have back pain necessarily though); also diabetes, or a blood circulation condition called Raynard's can cause numbness to the extremities, particularly the feet. I think you should check in with your GP - any of the above need attention.

Have you got something tied around them to stop circulation?
Anyway, this could be caused by a number of things. Firstly, if you are too cold the toes and fingers are the first things to lose blood and therefore are the coldest (blood is redirected to vital organs). Alternatively, you may have circulation problems. I will not go into too much detail on this but you should maybe consult a doctor.
Lepracy is extinct in our country though, so dont worry too much.

I agree with others that poor circulation could be the cause, but, it may not be that serious... ingrown toenails will also cause numbness, until you have them removed, if the top corners of your toenails curve inward, and aren't straight, go see a podiatrist, he/ she can remove the edges that are growing into the skin.

Try 75mg dissolvable aspirin each day to see if it improves fast, (that thins the blood for people with bad circulation) if no better it may be a nerve problem so go and see the doc. I get it on and off slightly and it's linked to tension in my neck and back.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

Lack of circulation - Elevate, wear looser shoes
Dehydration - Drink MORE water daily
Diabetes - Get checked out by your DOCTOR!

For the past 3 years I have suffered daily with neuropathy. Well it’s been just 1 week and I just cannot put into words how brilliant my results have been. I have absolutely no more hyper sensitivity and no more agonizing burning pains. I can’t explain it, but this thing works. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your secret with me.
