A member asked:
I got a deep cut on the bottom of my foot and now one toe is numb. is this due to a nerve injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Nerves carry sensation from the cells receiving a stimulus. If the feeling is lost it is likely that the nerve carrying that sensation has been damaged. Sensation may return with time, but nerves take a long time to heal.
