strange feeling between toes

moody73girl posted:

My 3 yr old boy's been complaining about strange feeling between his toes for a quite a while now. Last year when he couldn't really talk, I assumed it was "pain" sensation and asked his pediatrician and was told sometimes after a physically intense day it could happen and it wasn't anything to worry about. Now he's 3, he's able to tell me it isn't itchy, it isn't pain, it just feels like something weird between his toes. He wanted me to put something between his toes like tissues or sticks and even with that it doesn't help. It isn't everyday but it is frequent enough it worries me and he even wakes up crying middle of the night banging his feet on his bed and rubbing them against the mattress or floor. I've googled and found there are quite a number of ppl with similar symptom but no cause or a solution. Does anybody out there have an answer for this please? it's driving both me and my boy crazy.. His doctor didn't think much of it and said it could be growing pain.. I don't think it is.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Is it just between his toe or does it run anywhere else on his foot when it occurs?

I am 33 years old. I do have same problem from my childhood. I could not sleep in the night. I have to hold a stick(iron stick is better) between my toes. I also get this during daytime, I have to rub both the toes, which in turn creates nerve weakness. Sometimes keeping foot walm helps a bit. Could anyone why it is happening and any treatment for this.
