Are Numbness And Pain Around The Ankle Symptoms Of Neuropathy?
I have been having numbness and pain around my ankle for three or four months. First it was planter fasciitis then a broken metatarsal then a sprained tendon. Several days of therapy and still no results. It’s been six months since I started with this pain. If feels like a tight rubber band is wrapped around my ankle. Do I have permanent damage and is this from neuropathy
