Then it has to be Wilson's disease.

Probably. But you can't have too much of a good thing.

The magic 8-ball tells me that this isn't exactly the best place to ask medical questions. (your description of the issue is kinda vague, anyway)

The magic 8-ball, when I ask it if you will die due to this affliction, says "highly likely".

am i going to die?

Shocked


Probably not, but you could lose the toe if there's a circulation problem. And you need your big toes for balance (the little toes aren't critical.)

If your toe is still numb, go to the emergency room. If your toe is no longer numb then tell your doctor in case it is a symptom of a bigger problem.

Since all the joking has been coverd.

The dermatome for the 1st toe is L5. In my dealings with athletes you would rarely see the L5 dermatome affect only the distal aspect of the innervation line but I would not say that it is impossible to have some form of impingement of the Saphenous nerve in the ankle region if there was some form of trauma.

You said you stayed up later then usual. Were you innebriated.

Other then that you could have a Morton's Neuroma between the 1st and 2nd digits.

hmm, there is a slight twinge in my ankle as well now that you mention it.

wasnt innebriated, lol, just playing BF3 for too long like a nerd.

its odd. only the front half of my big toe feels 'numb', but i can feel my fingernail if i run it along the toe itself.

The toe isnt discolored at all either and i have full motion.

I'm going to an osteopath soon anyway, im sure he'll know whats going on.

Stop sitting around so much and get up and exercise , I bet it all goes away eventually. They did a study recently about poor circulation problems in people that spend most of their waking time sitting at a desk etc. http://www.npr.org/2011/04/25/135575490/sitting-all-day-worse-for-you-than-you-might-think ...notice the image towards the bottom of the article and do the dance Lol

Ooooooooh! Could be the onset of adult type II diabetes. Your body doesn't absorb glucose as well as it should and the glucose pools in the extremities. Having too much glucose running around your bloodstream can cause nerve damage and vascular damage.

Was the room cold where you have been sleeping in? Sounds to me like a common reaction of cold + slippery/closed off veins. You should only be worried if it turns black or stays blue.

Nope I am not a doctor, I used to study for becoming a biomedical lab technician... does that count? =D

Since the lack of sensation is very minor (and may only be impacting a few nerve endings), try some exercise, along with keeping yourself hydrated. Most likely, its a transitory phenomena, but if it continues, you should go see a dr. for it.
