Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just had a depo-medrol injection to help with toe joint pain related to bone spur and first metatarsal hitting toe joint. This injection was 7 hours ago. The top of my great toe is numb and I am unable to move it the full range I had earlier today. Is it possible a nerve was hit? If so, will this inprove, or will it be permanent?
