numb foot
i am mid forties. excellent shape. workout weights six days a week, run 3 miles outside 4 days, karatie 3 days a week. about five months ago I was sparring and kicked a guy with a wheel kick. top of foot pad slipped and top of foot hit his elbow..causing some pain on top of foot behind big and second toe. next day pain was worse but subsided. immediately my big and second toe were numb…and bottom of foot was also numb. they have remained this way for five months. any ideas of what to do? if doc… What kind of specialist?

Some people ask stupid questions as if she can actually see the foot. She does her best to answer questions. I’m glad she does and I’m sure a lot of others do to.

You pointed out that this is a waste of your time. I sometimes ask myself why I do this since you are correct, I do suggest that the individual get another opinion. Sometimes that is what people need- another viewpoint. Treating people is not easy since there are many other factors involved in coming to a diagnosis. Most people who post do not take it into account. Almost always it is best to examine the patient and review all pertinent facts. Try solving a crime without any information. And by the way, I do not do this to promote my practice. Actually I have had 2 patients come in to my practice stating they saw this forum. If you count the thousands of posts I have responded to, that’s not a very good return on my time. I answer the questions I feel comfortable responding to when I have time. I receive no money or other compensation for doing this. People post from all over the world. If I have helped one person, then I am gratified. I am sorry you feel that way.
