Toes are fine - wriggling and sensitive as normal. Just a small area on top. Then I noticed last week when I was walking that my right foot was slapping down on the ground. Very odd. I appear to have lost the ability to flex my right foot upwards - making my toes point at my shin. I can move left and right, But I get discomfort in my shin when I try and flex upwards. A feeling of tension. I can drive OK since my heel is anchored - not that I am doing much of that. But walking is uncomfortable. Have some movement restored in the morning but it gets worse over the day. Going to call the doc....
Doc got me to call in at the surgery. Says it's a trapped nerve - there's one that runs down the leg and can get snagged around the knee joint. My symptoms are a good match for that. I need to avoid crossing my legs etc. I have a tendency to do that at my desk for work. Should get better. I've to give it a couple of months.
