THE DR. GAVE HIM MOBIC TO TAKE AND WOULD NOT GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE FOR MISSING WORKHE WENT TO THIS SAME DR. 2 YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME THING,AND THE DR.
TOLD HIM TO STAY HOME AND REST HIS FOOT BECAUSE IT COULD RUPTURE AND LEAVE HIM CRIPPLED.

    Sorry, we can’t answer every post and often when we do, people complain we didn’t give them an accurate diagnosis. Some are annoyed when we tell them to see a doctor or ask the doctor who treated them. I would have to speculate that you might have a Morton’s neuroma in your foot causing the numbness. There certainly might be other causes, but this is my best guess. For further treatment, go see a podiatrist. Good luck.
