Hi @Pheather1

Thank you for posting on our Online Community.

Although we are not medically trained on the Helpline often numbness could be a nerve that becomes pinched when the muscle applies to much pressure, possibly asking your GP for a referral to see a Physiotherapist for some structured stretching exercises would help with this.

In the meantime I have added a link to some of our foot exercises, hope that helps.
