Finger tips and toes
Discussion
I have a little sensation in both big toes, but in none of the others. I've had this for years. Later than I should have done, I did what, if you'll excuse me for being didactic, you should do, and that's see my/your GP. I was sent for various examinations, where it was discovered I had no reflexes in my knees. It's a back problem, one that is progressive and it will inevitably mean I'll lose control of what's below my waist or die in the mean time.
My views on both are unresolved.
Mine started with pain in the tips of my non big toes.
I have 'pins and needles' in the ring and index finger of my right hand. This is due to RSI/carpel tunnel syndrome. It's not viewed that seriously by my GP, although he says the weakness in my hand is unlikely to improve. Treatment is rest and my right arm being disabled during the night. It has been progressive; over 15 years now.
I have low levels of vitamin B12. A symptom of this is numbness and pain in fingers and toes. It can be very serious; my elder brother was taken into hospital after collapsing with it. Untreated it can kill. He has injections every 4-6 weeks and is now symptomless. Tests are being conducted to have it treated via patches.
To put it simply, it might be nothing much, it could be serious. Go and see your doctor.

I've got these under my skin. They're on most of my fingers) tips, my toes, and my forehead!?
Putting pressure on them and I can feel a TINY bit of pain. I'll try making an app with my GP tomorrow morning, but it's highly unlikely I'll be able to see him. Ridiculously busy.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Definitely would be getting them checked out.
