What Causes Pain In The Foot And Numbness In The Toes?
I m experiencing occasional sharp shooting pain in my left center foot. I also have had prolonged numbness in my 3rd and 4th toes on the left foot for over a year. I ve seen a foot doctor twice and he gave me a shot of cortisone on one visit. It seemed to help for a few days and then the numbness continued. and I ve been living with it since. I have flat feet and are having in sole arches being built. But for now is there a remedy I can take now or getr something over the counter to relief this shooting pain when it shows up? I m soking my foot in war water and this this seems to help somewhat.
As per your complain you have problem of numbness and pain in feet that may be because of nerve compression problem or diabitic neuropathy or other reasons.
MRI can done for further diagnosis. Consult a doctor for further diagnosis and treatment plan. Detail history and investigation give exact idea about problems. Start a treatment as per reason behind it..
I hope this will help you. Get well soon.. Thank you.
