A member asked:

Fourth major surgery on shattered foot. no feeling at all but can move toes and slightly move ankle. start 12 weeks or tomorrow.will feeling come back?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hopefully yes with -: time, BUT the best person answering this for you would be your surgeon who has ben treating you. ANYONE else, including me, would be guessing with a YES or a NO. If a nerve was crushed badly in a shattered foot, then chances may not be good for full recovery. GOOD LUCK.
