Both feet? Can be a consequence of a trapped sciatic nerve.
Frostbite? You haven't just climbed Everest by any chance have you?
ufcdanielle would have received much more sympathy for diabetic polyneuropathy.
Are you diabetic?
There are a host of causes, although diabetes is cited as the most usual!
You could have early stage 'Peripheral Neuropathy'
My feet are completely devoid of all feeling, but I'm not diabetic (see my current thread about scalding my foot).
Get yourself to your GP pronto......

Thanks for your ideas, advice and most of all lack of sympathy 
Yes both feet 
was diagnosed pre diabetic but have taken steps not to become full blown. Will get myself to the Doctors just to be on the safe side

That's the right thing to do Dan. When you lose sensation or have poor circulation, there is a risk of infection and if you are unlucky, amputation of toes. Be careful when cutting your toenails, don't go too short.
Cheers Foinavon I do have dodgy big toenail (an attractive feature) 
I do try to keep it short but it's playing up. Usually I have a high threshold for pain but never fancied having a toenail removed

Foinavon, pretty much every time I tried to cut my toenails I drew blood!
On the worst occasion, I had to put a freezer bag on it to go to A&E!
The only good thing is to see that, at least, there is blood there beneath the dead skin!

The main risk is if you nick yourself when cutting them, you might not realise it and allow an infection to set in. Wipe with surgical spirit (ethanol) before and after.
Sorry to hear that, Lady Faye. Might be worth paying a professional to cut them for you, I do.
ufcdan....I don't know what the procedure is like but I'm certain you would have a local injection!
I had six stitches in my head, and couldn't see what was going on, and when I felt the first prick, I thought it was a stitch going in, and then another one, but it was an injection to anesthetise the area.
Not as effective as at the dentist, when your whole mouth and lips are without feeling, but obviously it must have taken the edge off.
On a scale of 1-10 the pain was between, perhaps, 2.5 to 5.5 but short lived and a bit of wry humour, and squeezing my daughter's hand helped!

Foinhavon,
I've had a foot care specialist do mine for several years.

Should have said that I get them done FOC, by a foot care specialist, at a local hospital!
I have a very pleasant lady to do mine. The worst bit is the electric sander which tickles like hell.
I spend about £200 a year for excellent treatment and which is next to nothing in the greater scheme of things.
??? .....to tickle your feet, and make you laugh, shouldn't cost anything!
Spoke to the duty doctor today, apparently my last blood test showed my B12 count was low which made sense I eat very little red meat. The doctor said that could be a reason why I'm losing feeling in my toes might have to eat a steak

I would have settled for a sander or any other river fish just to nibble away at my feet. They used an electric eel on mine.

Had a blood test last week saw the Doctor today. All the things they look for are normal. On examining my feet he said they where a bit pale in colour and he was struggling to find a pulse. Been booked in for a Doppler test next week apparently some sort of ultra sound. Anyone had one ?
