Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. Numbness in foot might be due to injury to superficial nerve fibres during sprain. Do not worry, it will recover gradually as healing process progresses. Doing hot fomatation will be helpful. You can take some methylcobalamine tablets after prescription of your doctor. Hope this will helps you. Regards. Dr Saurabh gupta docsaurabhmzpr@gmail.com
