A member asked:
Is it possible i have a irritated nerve as i have numb toes and foot when i walk i have lots of scar tissue on my ankle if so which nerve treatment ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like : Nerve entrapment or compression of nerve. Scar tissue often is involved with this condition. Treatment depends on cause. If nerve is trapped or compressed in scar tissue, injection therapy and physical therapy are often helpful. Sometimes biomechanical support will help. If conservative care is unsuccessful, surgery to free up nerve can be considered. Do you have any back problems? May be factor.
