Does Numbness In Toes With Diagnosed Instrinic Tear Need Surgery On Achilles Tendon?
Hello..i had achilles tendon surgery on my right foot in 07. Now in 2011, I noticed I had a catching sensation in it and it was very painful. I had an mri and it revealed an instrinic tear in it. Ive taking prescribed medication with a boot and a cortisone injection. Now im experiencing numbness in my toes...can any doctor tell me whats going on? Im thinking I need surgery again on my achilles tendon to fix the tear

Hello,
Minor tear can be managed conservatively with physiotherapy. Consult an orthopedic and he will direct you accordingly.
