Yes, numbness in toes is a common experience for people with RA. This can be related to peripheral neuropathy, which occurs when nerves running from the brain and spinal cord are affected. Many myRAteam members have shared similar experiences with numbness in their extremities.

Yes, numbness in toes is a common experience for people with RA. This can be related to peripheral neuropathy, which occurs when nerves running from the brain and spinal cord are affected. Many myRAteam members have shared similar experiences with numbness in their extremities.

Common symptoms of RA-related foot problems include:
• Pain in the toes and ball of the foot
• Dislocated toe joints
• Bunions and hammertoes
• Pain in the heel
• Numbness and tingling sensations If experiencing numbness, it's important to discuss these symptoms with a healthcare provider as they can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment. The symptoms typically appear symmetrically (on both sides of the body) and may be managed through various treatments including medication, physiotherapy, or assistive devices.

I was having numbness in my heels and toes. At first I thought it was because RA started in my ankles, then I thought maybe it was plantar facciitis, but just had epidural for stenosis and read that nerve root irritation can cause that. So Im not sure of the cause but I've had problems. I was on Gabapentin for a while but wasn't nuts about side effects. Ra sux!
