Suggest Treatment For Pain And Numbness In The Foot

I kicked a stone trash can out of anger with my toes up hitting the ball of my foot. When I kicked my foot went numb and I couldn t move my toes at first. Pain comes and goes but pains shoots up sometimes. I can t tell if there is any swelling or bruises. What did I do?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

There can be hairline fracture to toe due to injury
Also there can be injury to terminal branch of nerve.
Another differential is mortans neuralgia in which there is neuroma formation between web space of toes.

I will advise you x ray foot.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level,and uric acid level

If nerve compression becomes severe later on then surgical decompression will give permanent relief.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
