A member asked:
I had joint fusion on my big toe 10 weeks ago and i was wondering if it normal for my foot to go to sleep while standing on it & feel taut in the arch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mechanical change.: Because of the nature of the surgery and it's designed alteration of the foot's normal function, the muscles and connective tissues in the arch area can be affected. The localized inflammation of newly stressed tissues can have an effect on the nerves passing through the area. This may take some time to resolve. To remove all doubt, contact your surgeon and see if therapy is warranted.
