Suggest Treatment For Pain In Foot After Surgery
neuropathy in one foot versus the other after surgery. the pain (stinging, tingling, almost feel like foot will explode) occurs at night and comes in waves. it only subsides when walking, but that is temporary and mildly helps. the surgery was 20 hrs long and it was caused by positioning during surgery. any insight on how to control is appreciated. thanks

Hello,
The stinging or tingling sensation in foot could be due to compression of nerve due to long immobilization of foot. I suggest you to consult a neurologist to rule out any injury to the nerve in foot.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
