The right top and side of my right foot from he smallest couple of toes back to the heel have been numb (like pins and needles) for a couple of months.
Functions ok but it's now annoying me, seeing a GP takes a few weeks around here so does anyone have a plausible web diagnosis or better still advice that may fix it?

It's been numb for a couple of months and you still haven't seen anyone about it? 😯

IANAD and have no real experience, but everything I"ve read about numbness anywhere in the body says you should seek medical advice if numbness persists beyond a few days as it could lead to irreversible nerve damage. Go see someone FFS!

Book an appt online or call them and says it's an emergency.

Or even A&E if it is severe.

Thanks everyone, thats put my mind at ease 🙄

Theres a couple of recently built care homes around here so the GP's a bit overwhelmed and the thought of sitting with all the war vets because my foots a bit sore doesn't appeal. I also presumed it was just a symptom of fastening my feet to pedals for hours on end tbh.

ill give em a ring.
