It amazes me how people on here are so willing to provide diagnoses after a one line posjt. I'm going to assume Coach has diabetes and that is why he is posting to this forum. Numbness in extremities is a symptom of diabetes and may be nothing to worry about but might indicate a problem. We need to pay extra attention to our feet and ask our doctors to examine our feet on a regular basis. So I would suggest you visit your regular practitioner who follows your diabetes (and perhaps a podiatrist as well because not everything is related to diabetes.

You probably suffer from Morton's neuroma or plantar neuroma which results when there
is a formation of scar tissue around the nerve between the 4th and 5th toes. You need
a good orthotics to redistribute the weight away from that pressure point. Maybe a podatrist can help. Or try putting a small piece of foam between the 4th and 5th toes
and see if it helps but if the neuroma is already advanced then it might not work. Good luck.
