Why do your two little toes feel like they are asleep?

The feeling you describe where the two little toes feel asleep is often caused by a condition called Morton's neuroma, rather than actually sleeping. Morton's neuroma is a benign growth of nerve tissue that develops between the bones in the ball of the foot, usually between the third and fourth toes. This can lead to a sensation of numbness, tingling, or burning in the affected toes. Pain from a neuroma can be sharp and stabbing, or feel like an electric shock. It is often aggravated by activities that put pressure on the ball of the foot, such as running, wearing high heels, or standing for long periods. If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is recommended to see a healthcare professional who can evaluate your foot and determine the cause of your discomfort.
