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.
Hi. I had foot surgery 2 weeks ago and had 5 screws inserted. It was placed in a fiberglass cast yesterday after the sutures were removed. Since the placement of the cast, I have the most bizarre feeling in my big toe and in my second toe (these are the two toes that were the source of the surgery). It feels like there is a tiny little critter running down one toe and into the other, over and over again. It only goes from the 2nd toe to the big toe (never in reverse). Is this nerve? Any idea how long it will last as it is driving me crazy...
Cast may can cause nerve compressioay gives this feeling or it may be a cast allergy. Please consult with your treating doctor he will examine for mobility of fingers and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
