What causes Numbness and pain in left big toe?

Answer:
I had exactly that four years ago when I gave up smoking and started putting on weight. The numbness grew in both feet and up the leg over the years, now I have it in my fingers too! Doctors still don't know what it is exactly but it is probably a result of too much sugar in the blood, related to my damaged lower spine. Both are related to over-weight!
