JStump Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 So after going to the gap this weekend, the front and outside of my big toes have been numb. I put my boot on and its entirely possible I was pushing on my toes while riding as I spent a lot of the time off the seat. Anyone else ever experience this?

OsuMj Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 are your boots too small? I've never had that problem on the twisties. I have had my feet go numb on the highway because I don't move my legs for an hour and a half at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have that problem too... They aren't too small but maybe the sole is too hard... I was going to try some insoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medina Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Anyone Ever Have Numb Toes After Riding? On a goldwing? Dont they make those foot pegs out of antivibration material? I swear I thought I saw those on a table at a swap meet one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStump Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 are your boots too small? I've never had that problem on the twisties. I have had my feet go numb on the highway because I don't move my legs for an hour and a half at a time.No, they fit just about perfect, but the riding position on my bike makes my feet slide to the front of my shoe. I have that problem too... They aren't too small but maybe the sole is too hard... I was going to try some insoles.How long did it last?

Zorro Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 That's pretty normal. If you're in any position for too long, things will go numb. You're pressing on a nerve...even if you dont realize it. The more you do this, the quicker it will go numb. It could be your boot pressing on some nerve.

JStump Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 It is still numb though, I got a bit freaked out and read online some people had this issue but it never said how long for it to go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted June 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Nope, looks and feels completely fine. Just the tip is numb. Also read it could be a B12 deficiency so I'm pounding B12 supplements haha. Edited June 13, 2013 by JStump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly Street Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Peripheral neuropathy - numbness of the extremities. (Feet, hands)Neuropathy is very common. There are many types and causes. Often, no cause can be found. Some nerves diseases run in families.Diabetes is the most common cause of this type of nerve problem. High blood sugar levels over a long time can damage your nerves.Other health conditions that may cause neuropathy are:Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupusChronic kidney diseaseHIVLiver infectionsVitamin deficiency states: Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin), vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin B1 (thiamin)Low levels of vitamin B12Metabolic diseasePoisoning due to heavy metals, such as leadPoor blood flow to the legsUnderactive thyroid glandOther things that can lead to nerve damage are:Broken bone that affects a nerveLong-term, heavy alcohol useGlue, lead, mercury, and solvent poisoningDrugs that treat infections, cancer, seizures, and high blood pressurePressure on a nerve, such as carpal tunnel syndromeBeing exposed to cold temperatures for a long period of time Pressure from bad-fitting casts, splints, a brace, or crutchesBefore you freak out at this list realize that the most common causes are also the most likely such as vitamin deficiencies which are very common with our well balanced national diet of cheeseburgers and fries.

I had colitis and the only thing that worked to keep it under control was surgery to basically remove half my intestine which is where I read B12 is absorbed. Also, my left eye twitches like MJ said, some days like crazy and I tend to be really tired in the middle of the day which correlates with vitamin issues.

Potassium in bananas is good for muscle spasms. Conversly getting lettuce and tomato on your burger does not qualify as a food group.

Also keep in mind that vitamins work on food so the best time for them is meal time.Don't forget vitamin "D" a recent study says we all are at low levels. I blame violent video games for keeping us out of the sun. In any case you don't have to live in a third world country to suffer from a deficiency. Lifestyle issues like to much fast food and not enough of the good stuff could explain a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
