What do YOU think is wrong with my toes?

<spins wheel>

Schistosomiasis!

(Not only is it gross, it’s also fun to say out loud!)

I dont think this word means what you think it means.

Pto(e)maine poisoning?

Tolio?

<groan>

<snerk> Youse guys are funny.

I personally think it’s the devil.

You know what’s wrong with your toes? It’s SATAN!!/Church Lady

Dammit - that was going to be mine! You, sir, are the poopy pants!

Okay, my SECOND guess then is - toe transplant. Did you fall asleep at any point during your ski trip? Did you wake up in an ice water bath? Do your toes look familiar?

Humm - I DID doze off coming down Paradise Bowl…and my toes DO look a little different…

I have 2 toes that have been partially numb for the last year and a half. First noticed it when I was hiking on the Isle of Arran in August of 2005. Thought I had something in my shoe, but I couldn’t find anything when I checked. Took me 2 days to figure out what was going on. :smack: Podiatrist dianosed a neuroma on the nerve going to that part of my foot. Since it doesn’t cause any pain, he left it there. You mostly get used to it, but once in a while it is really noticeable.

Alice, ignore the silly theories given here. Obviously, while skiing you accidently put your toes through a small rip in the space/time continuum. Your toes are now stuck in the hole and you are dragging it around with you. Since the physical laws there are slightly out of tune with ours, your nerves in your toes don’t transmit the information they are receiving in the correct manner to your brain.

See, simple explanation.

Well yeah. Doctors get lonely. He’s pobably just in his office right now wiping away the tears and sitting by the phone.

Morton’s neuroma is a benign tumor of a peripheral nerve that typically involves the intermetatarsal nerve between the heads of the 3rd and 4th metatarsals. It is usually caused by compression irritation of the nerve – the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones are closer together than the others. The “tumor” may grow to be the size of a grape and can be quite painful – parasthesia extending to the adjacent sides of the 3rd and 4th toes. The condition is typically precipitated by wearing tight shoes and in certain biomechanical foot types (i.e. pronation). Since Morton’s neuroma usually involves only two toes (I assume more of alice_in_wonderland’s toes are involved) and the symptoms are most often pain and burning as opposed to numbness, I think we can safely rule out neuroma in her case. The rip in the space-time continuum would definitely be on the differential diagnosis, however. :wink:

Perhpas they aren’t your toes at all. You were “taken” and fitted with cyborg toes. When the aliens come you will be an unwilling human participant in their army, kicking your neighbors to death.

…Nah, I still thinks it a flipper foot mutation.

Look here , you’re all wrong and the answer is really quite obvious.

Whilst Alice was skiing it’s obvious that a snow leprechaun sneakily jumped into her boots as she was on the piste.

Snow leprechauns, as every one knows, are somewhat partial to toes. They set up home there, raise a family of extremely small sprogs and the sprogs nibble the toes of the host until nothing is left but lumps of misshapen bone.

There is no known cure other than dipping feet in bath of sulphuric acid

Sounds like you’ve got shpillkis in your ganecta-gazoink.

Come to think of it, Alice, post pictures of your gazoinks too. (They need not be ganected.)

Bah!, amateur, back when I was learning to ski, our ski boot liners were filled with rusty razorblades and broken glass, and on top of that, we wore boots three sizes too small and they were made of lead, and that’s the way we liked it!

Who keeps letting this crankcase in here? Weirdo.

I KNOW! And I thought this friggin’ board had STANDARDS! Hah. Fighting ignorance indeed!

Reverse Zombification… in a week or two, you’ll start feeling craving for toes. :smiley:

Obviously you were bitten by a venomous toe snake and need to have the poison sucked out immediately before it spreads. Of course, there’s a chance that the person doing the sucking could accidently swallow some of the poison and die. Naturally, I’m willing to risk such a possibility to save your live, alice. It’s the only gentlemanly thing to do.

Or you might have a toemor!
