Hi Grace,

I have a lot of tingling and numbness due to spinal cord damage. However, mine tends to be more generalized: my whole foot, as opposed to an individual toe. An exception to that are my shock like pains, which tend to be very specific. Sometimes it feels like a lightening bolt is shooting out of my index finger.

Speaking of feeling things, have you been tested for your sensitivity to pain and temperature?

There is a simple way that SOMETIMES helps identify if issues are related to neck instability: put on a cervical collar and see if the symptoms abate. Be mindful, however, to never wear a collar for an extend period, as this can lead to muscle atrophy and make matters even worse.
