A member asked:

I sprained my foot a few weeks ago, and after it healed anytime i run (basketball, jogging), the same foot slowly gets "pins & needles" then goes numb?

Nerve damage?: The type of pain that you're experiencing is quite consistent with nerve damage. You should absolutely go and check with your nearest podiatrist as soon as you can. I would avoid sports in the meantime.
