A member asked:

How can i stop numbness of feet, caused from damaged nerve ends?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can not be done: Usually nerve damage in feet is irreversible unless this occurs acutely and the condition is reversible with treatment. If you have pain along with numbness then medications can help.
