Suggest Treatment For Numbness In Feet
Hi. Half of my left foot has been numb for a little over a week now. I have done a capillary test and I do not think it is blood flow related. Two Tuesdays ago I stepped in a hole and my ankle twisted a little. It was a little sore for a few minutes but after that there was no soreness and no swelling. The next night I noticed that there was numbness. It is not my whole foot. It starts in the middle of my left foot and goes out and about half way to my knee.

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.This little trauma may have caused injury to nerves around the ankle,like peroneal and tibial nerve , which may have caused sensory loss in territories specific to nerve injured.This is just a possibility, I can suggest and you should visit a neurologist , so that he may examine you and ask for
nerve conduction studies if needed so.I hope it helped.
