Suggest Treatment For Pain And Numbness In Foot After A Tarsal Tunnel Surgery

Hi. I had tarsal tunnel surgery on my left foot last week and my foot is numb from the pinky toe to the heel of my foot. When my right foot was done I didn t have that problem. I was told maybe it was a pinched nerve What can I do to make the pain and th numbness go away. Its driving me out of my mind. Thank you

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve. I suggest using anti inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen 400 mg. I also suggest to maintain the area immobilized to prevent further damage.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
