What Causes Numbness On The Foot?
I am concerned about numbness in one of my feet. I wore pretty painful boots for halloween Saturday night and come Sunday morning I had lost feeling along the left side of the sole of one foot. It has been a few days now and I am not regaining any sensation. At what point should I be concerned the damage is permanent or will require treatment?

Hello,
If such loss of sensation is continue to there without any improvement in feeling then it is a matter of concern. With passing of time without improvement there are increase chances of having permanent damage to nerve. I shall advise you to consult to your neuro-physician for this. Meanwhile, you should do rest and keep your limb elevated on a pillow.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
