Question 1

could plantar fasciitis cause toe numbness?

Accepted Answer

It's possible...: The medial plantar nerve runs right under the plantar fascia in the arch, so it's possible, but i don't commonly hear of this complaint.

Question 2

can plantar fasciitis cause my toes to go numb?

No: Classic plantar fasciitis can not cause toe numbness.  If toe numbness is associated with heel/ankle pain, then one needs to consider pinched nerve problems from the lower back, such as a herniated disc.

Yes: It could be one of the causes.

Question 8

can a tight plantar fasciitis brace cause a high arched foot?

No: It would help support the plantar fascia but cannot cause a foot to becomr "high arched".

Question 9

should you soak foot with sesamoiditis in hot bath or ice instead? also can sesamoiditis cause symtoms similar to plantar fasciitis/heel pain?

Accepted Answer

Don't strain it...: Sesamoiditis can be a frustrating condition to have and treat. Whether acutely painful or chronic in nature, staying off of the foot or severely restricting weight bearing is essential. Acute inflammation responds to ice application where as chronic may respond better to heat. The body's natural way is with heat. The condition is similar to fasciitis in that they both hurt when bearing weight.

Question 10

can plantar fasciitis cause sharp pain in the ball of foot when walking? also can plantar fasciitis last months even with treatment such as stretching

Accepted Answer

Stop tearing it...: Did you ever think that the stretching of the inflamed fascia is just continually irritating an already damaged tissue. Stop the stretching, rest it, apply heat and wait for the healing to occur as nature intended.
