nerve damage of the foot?

(2 discussions)

I have been having sever pain/and tingling like a shock that travels from my ankle to the 3 middle toes. I can flex down ,up and outward with minimal discomfort, but not inward. It feels as though I have been given an electrical shock along with great pain. The foot with ache at times below the three toes just where they “bend” at the spot where they meet the foot. I also have a heel spur on that foot? Nerve damage or heel spur side effects?

    Possibly yes to both nerve and heel spur pain. Sometimes the plantar fascia can be inflamed so much that it entraps the lateral plantar nerve. You need further examination and treatment from a podiatrist.

    I came down off of my deck one day and my foot went right out from under me. I experieced immediate swelling and discoloration. This was 2 years ago and I still have swelling, inflammation, and now a tingling of my foot to my toes. I was told that I had a possible 2 or 3 sprain and my doctor(not a specialist) did take x-rays. I could not walk any for almost 2 weeks. I have what feels like a Migraine in my foot most of the time. There is visible difference of what looks like a mountain on my ankle bone. There is also a sac of what looks like mush under this filled with liquid that moves. I am so confused. I went back to my doctor and she is starting me with physical therapy this week. Should I go and see a specialist? I have a hard time walking first thing in the morning after waking, and after I have been on my foot for over a few hours, I have to limp around. This is clearly something that should be corrected! PLEASE HELP WITH ANY INFORMATION!!!!!!!
