What to do about nerve damage to the medial plantar nerve?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not a lot of options: Medial plantar nerve damage is difficult to diagnose/treat. Surgery has mixed reviews and often can lead to worse pain. If pain is your main issue, you may want to consider neuromodulator medication like Gabapentin or Pregabalin to help decrease the pain or consider topical compounded pain creams. At home, also try alternating cold/hot baths to try to desensitization. I hope this helps!
