    Default help! my tootsies are numb!

    my first night working the balls of my feet were just sore, normal enough, i could walk fine the next day. second night my big toe and the next two over were totally numb. i massaged them ("this little piggy went to the strip club, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had pretzels and beer, this little piggy had none, and this little piggy went "wee, wee, wee, my toes are numb!") and then i slept. but now here it is 15 hours later, not quite as bad, but still slightly numb and worrying me.

    1. how come they didn't go numb the first night?
    2. if i wear the shoes tonight can i possibly be doing permanent damage to the nerves in my feet?
    3. do any of you know of a good way to bring feeling back into numb tootsies?

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    when i started dancing, my feet did the same thing. my toes were all numb and i was scared about it. honestly, your feet will get used to the shoes and the work and they will feel completly back to normal. the best thing is to do everything normal, keep working, maybe soak them in epsom salt, and pedicures are amazing!

    im not sure about permanent damage though...i dont think u should worry about that.

    thank you - epsom salts i will get. i guess it's just like any other job, your body just needs to adjust and then you're fine.

    they are probably numb from swelling so you need to get that blood moving out of there. keep your feet up when your resting, rub your feet and rub in the direction of your leg, like your pushing the blood out. also a friend of mine who took a class in sports medicine said what reaally helps is alternating between hot and cold soaks, like 15 min cold then right into 15 hot, then repeat a few times.
