I woke up this morning and my Right big toe was completely numb - I still can't feel it - I have a history of gout - could this be the cause?

I don't think it is because Gout is a joint problem mainly caused by problems with the bodies metabolisem and high levels of uric acid which crystalizes and dposites in the jointes, so its probably not the case, unless you feel some sort of pain the bones.
