Stardust,

Hang in there! There is always something you can do (verses the doctors) that might help.
Take a deep breath and say to yourself: I will move my toe again. I also lost the ability to move my toe: started with the one next to the big one and now also my pinky toe. When it happened I went into a shear panic (cried for hours) and called the doctors right away. Turns out that the doctors couldn’t help and it sounds like you are going through a similar experience. A few days later (After I was done being angry and sad) I began working on moving my toes while watching TV.
At first it was so frustrating because I would be looking at my toe and telling myself over and over that I could move it and the stupid toe would not budge.
Over time, I did regain some motions back (still not full range but some range is progress).
Unfortunately, the same thing is now going on with my little toe (pinky toe only started 2 weeks ago). I have not regained any motion in that one but I will work on it every day and hopefully I the motion will come back. I look at it like retraining the toe to work again.
