Sprained foot + wound + nerve pain in toe Posted: 06-03-07 06:38am
On the 11th of may,i fell down and
sprained my left foot very badly and also
suffered a gaping wound that left me with
6 stitches.I had my stitches out on the
25th and I was given anti biotics. But my
wound had not healed yet so I was told by
my doctor to do daily dressing by myself
at home.
Now the wound is getting better and healed
alot since I fell but it is still raw.But
as it is near my toe,i have some pain on
the underside of my toe.I went to my
doctor and he said the skin had hardened
and the hardened part was the only part
that was painful.So he cut the hardened
skin but the other part he said it was too
thin to be cut.So I bought a blade from
the pharmacy for removing dead skin and
corns and I filed away all my dead skin.
But the thing is the pain still
exists.Only when the hardened area is
touched.The pain is that of a tingling
sensation.Can anyone please tell me what
may be causing the pain?Thank you.
Ps-i do not suffer from any other diseases
like diabetes etc and this o
The tingling sensation of the toe may be
caused by an aggravated injury of a branch
of the nerve that leads to the toe.
However, if the pain persists consult your
primary health care doctor again.
