Before my MS, when I had swollen bits they would feel a little numb because of the fluid.

Hi Deb....When I did a number on my ankle my toes were numb and cold and it hurt to even try to wiggle them the tiniest bit.  I would say that if the swelling is still up that it is normal because the swelling is slowing the blood flow to your toes.

Are you icing it on a regular basis?  It's really important that you do even though I know how painful it is to have something on your foot...sorry but ugh...I can feel how you feel plain as day and you have my deepest sympathy!
