Bruising Around the Sciatic Nerve causing toe pain? Posted: 12-19-07 06:39am
on sunday 16th december i took a knee in
the right buttock during a football
match... its felt a little bruised. the
following tuesday my little toe on the
right side felt bruised like it was broken
or injured. it is still in pain now and i
was wondering if anyone is aware of
bruising to or around the sciatic nerve
could produce the symptoms i am getting or
should investigate my toe pain further....
it is bad enough to cause wlking to be
uncomfortable....
is this possible with Nerve injury?

could be
The sciatic nerve is located in the back
of the leg. It supplies the muscles of the
back of the knee and lower leg. The
sciatic nerve also provides sensation to
the back of the thigh, part of the lower
leg, and the sole of the foot. Partial
damage to the nerve may demonstrate
weakness of knee flexion (bending),
weakness of foot movements, difficulty
bending the foot inward (inversion), or
bending the foot down (plantar flexion). A
person's reflexes may be abnormal, with
weak or absent ankle-jerk reflex. Several
different tests can be performed to find
the cause of sciatic nerve dysfunction
