Anybody experience “Christmas Toes” what did you do?

[VAHunter23322]

Been dealing with it for three weeks post Colorado elk hunt with over 120 miles of trekking. I just assumed it was my peripheral neuropathy spreading. Middle three toes on right foot numb and tingling.

Going barefoot or wearing flip flops as much as possible helped me

I had a 6 month period where I had no feeling in both feet, but the feeling came back in both feet

I e had it but it usually only lasts a few days

My wife rubs my toes every night, seems to be helping. Yeah I know I’m spoiled haha

By the end of Jan, duck season, I usually have a few numb ones, a few missing toe nails...and at least on nasty ingrown toenail that i have to operate on. It usually corrects itself by end of Aug...My wife made a comment the other day that she is surprised its Oct all my toes still have nails....LOL

what are you doing “wrong” to regularly lose toenails? Never have lost one and do hunt hard and a lot.

Ive had this a few times. Mine usually lasts 2-4 months.

2-4 months is usually how long it takes for mine to go away too.

For a while I thought I this was something that only I experienced as none of my buddies who I hunt with had the issue. It wasn’t until recently I leaned from the thread below that this is somewhat common amongst. Western hunters.

Toe Numbness

Hey guys, hoping somebody else has had a similar issue and can offer some advice, I tried searching but couldn’t find anything that helped. I just got back from a 6 day hunt and my big toes on both feet are numb on the front and around the side. It’s not from rubbing but more of a nerve issue...
