Hi there
Its just sort of numb all the time, i can tell when i walk on it theres no feeling in the big toe. But it does hurt as well sometimes. I know where your coming from with the finger numbness pins needles etc not joints but tips of fingers as well as my numb left arm..
see if this nortryptyline works he put me on, he says it will help with buzzing in leg

Only when I drop stuff on it.
Now, fingers are another story. Joints hurt like the Dickens if I do too much strenuous stuff with 'em -- even mildly strenuous, like using hand tools for more than an hour or so. Finding that Tylenol's extended-release stuff for arthritis helps more than anything else I've tried.
Numbness followed by pain, though, makes me wonder about circulatory issues. Can you describe this pain? Is it constant, just when the toe is flexed, all through the toe or at a joint, throbbing, stabbing, stinging, etc.?
