Brief Answer:
You should take vitamin B 12 tablets or weekly injection
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I share your concern
Numbness in toes and foot at your age can be caused by
nutritional deficiency like vitamin B 12 deficiency
Diabetes or related neuropathy
Age related peripheral neuropathy
I would advise you to take vitamin B12 tablets or weekly injection with calcium supplements
You need not to worry, take an appointment with a physician whenever you get time for examination and battery of tests like blood sugar and nutrional assessment
Meanwhile squeeze your calf muscles
pull or extend your great toe forward as much you can while lying on bed or ground
Reduce weight if you are overweight
Hope this helps you
Thanks for your question,please feel free to ask for more assistance, I will be happy to help you
Best wishes
