Accepted Answer

Injury: A toe injury could cause a pinched nerve. I also have other problems too, like a contusion or fracture or dislocation.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Could be: Could also be tendonitis or bursitis. If persistant, see podiatrist.

Question 3

i have this slight numbness on the upper part of my left big toe.this started after i had a dance.is it possible that this is due to nerve compression?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most likely due to a pinched nerve. Usually it will resolve by itself if the compression is not chronic. Avoid doing the activities that cause this. I do recommend you get evaluation if the numbness gets worse. See your doctor.

Question 4

can u get pain in ball of foot and toes from a pinched nerve in back. mri of fooot normal. neurologist tells me pain from back. hard to believe.

Accepted Answer

Neurologist...: is right.  Sounds like further diagnostic and treatment planning is needed.

Question 5

i'm told sore foot and toes are from pinched nerve in back. should l get second opinion from podiatrist. would podiastrist be able to help problems?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation.: There is a host of conditions that can be responsible for both sore toes and sore feet. A pinched nerve would not be at the top of the list, but it is certainly a consideration. A more complete history and assessment are needed to isolate the true problem. if the symptoms are indeed due to a back problem, most specialists should be able to make the call.

Question 6

i have a pinched nerve in back and sore foot and toes. will physio help with pain in foot? aslo would a massage of foot be recommended?

Accepted Answer

It may help: It's depends what nerve is pinched and where the pain is in the foot and the toes. this may all fit but you need an evaluation to clarify these differences

Question 7

toes started to go numb 2 weeks after steroid injections in lower back? year later my foot is very sore to stand on. pinched nerve in back.

Accepted Answer

That is a sad story: but you have not asked a question. It would seem reasonable to obtain a second opinion to see if anything can be done to relieve your symptoms. Consider going to a University hospital as there may be investigational therapies that could prove to be more beneficial.

Question 8

pain in ball of foot and 3 toes, toes also burn and turn red when standing too long. mri normal, emg shows pain is from pinched nerve. sound correct?

Accepted Answer

Sounds reasonable.: It sounds as though the toes are #2, #3 and #4 may be involved. Either a single nerve or possibly a second could be the culprit(s). Doing a nerve block might help with the identification.

Question 9

can a pinched nerve on foot heal?

Accepted Answer

Relieve the pinch!: See a physiatrist to determine exactly what nerve is being pinched, and where/why it is being pinched.  With out altering mechanics or the problem, it is unlikely to get better.  Most cases are manageable with proper diagnosis/treatment.

Question 10

how long does it take to heal from a pinched nerve in your foot?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerves: Peripheral nerves can regenerate once the compression has been relieved.  The rate of recovery and the degree of recovery varies by the severity and duration of the compression. Nerves can continue to heal and recover 18 months after the impingement.
