diagnose me

so I'm on vacation skiing from last Saturday to this Saturday
when you ski you wear these heavy-ass boots that lock at the ankles so your shin and your foot are at close to a 90 degree angle with some wiggle room to slide your foot back and forth in the boot
anyways I got fitted for boots and they fit pretty well but about one or two days in and I can't feel my big toe on my right foot, I can feel the top of it but the tip and the bottom are completely numb
I try cutting my toenails (what you're supposed to do) and going into the hot tub and applying heat to it, and it's slowly coming back, but now there's a new problem
I wake up today and every once in a while when I lift up onto the ball of my feet something in the ball shifts and I can feel it moving from the ball of my foot all the way up into the middle of the bottom of my big toe
I didn't hit my foot on anything, I didn't fall weird, I was wearing proper footwear the whole time, so this is completely random to me

what is this
I checked and it doesn't look like it's sesamoiditis because that seems like a chronic thing and this just popped up when I woke up this morning

are you at a considerably higher altitude than you usually are & are you overtightening the boots

[Tactical Nuke]

when the bone shifts do u feel it go back to wher eit was before? can u feel it with your hands?

I don't know that it's a bone but it seems to shift the same way every time it happens

are you at a considerably higher altitude than you usually are & are you overtightening the boots

yes and maybe

[Tactical Nuke]

now that I think about it I think drydess is right about overtightening my boots

would that fix the problem with the bottom of my foot though

yeah loosen your boots and if you're wearing multiple layers of socks take off one. there's a balance between keeping your feet warm and keeping blood circulation to your feet. that said if you're feeling it at the end of the day don't go into a hot tub, take a warm shower. warm water is better than hot especially if there's any chance it's frostbitten

i had this happen to me literally last week, you'll be fine. what i ended up doing was wearing both boots with all clasps on loosest setting and the top clasp attached but not tightened, makes the boot give you correct support but doesn't strangle your shin. if you feel it starting to happen try and wiggle your toes as much as possible when you're on lifts and stuff, it keeps the blood flowing as much as possible.

stretch your foot and rest it. no more skiiing for you

nah forget that enjoy the skiing and then once you're done skiing work on getting feeling back LUL

okay does that stop the thing shifting in my foot too

update: I went back to the place I'm staying after skiing today and went to the hot tub

feeling's back in the toe

now about that thing with the ball of my foot

it happens. it's normal. if i had to guess its just your nerves in your foot getting used to having a toe again. it took mine about 3 days? 4 days? to go away, so just be patient with it, don't freak
