Question 2

Question 5

what can be done for crushed foot numbness?

Accepted Answer

Numbness of foot: If you had a crushing injury to the foot and the nerve tissue was also crushed, the likelihood of return to normal sensation is low. However, I have found that high voltage electrical stimulation therapy can be helpful with nerve injury and degeneration.

Question 6

what can i do to fix foot numbness and pain?

Accepted Answer

Get diagnosed first: There are a number of things that can cause pain in the feet. This is a very nonspecific symptom.  I recommend that someone with pain in in the foot should be seen by orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon for a definitive diagnosis so that appropriate treatment can be started.  You can find one in your area at www.Aofas.Org.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: foot numbness?

Accepted Answer

Lost that feeling.: Foot numbness can be described as having a reduced sensation of feeling in the foot. It is generally a sign of an underlying neurological condition involving the sensory elements of the foot.

Question 8

can foot numbness be caused by a change in physical activity?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Tarsal tunnel syndrome may be worsened by marathon running or vigourous jumping.  Involves entrapment of posterior tibial nerve at medial ankle.  Getting off feet may help.  A good podiatrist can benefit all of this.

Question 9

can foot numbness come from change in level of physical activity?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are a number of factors that would influence foot numbness and activity level including pathomechanics, impingement syndrome, peripheral edema, shoe stability/fit/type, metabolic syndrome, repetitive injury, incomplete rest from previous injury. An examination is indicated.

Question 10

what might cause pain in the calf and foot numbness?

Accepted Answer

Caution: Whenever there is pain in the calf it is prudent to rule out a deep vein thrombosis or clot. The foot numbness may or may not be related. There are nerves that run down the leg and end in the foot so impingement on the nerve can cause foot numbness. Sometimes, the etiology might actually come from the back. See a doc for a proper exam.
