My pinky toe is very numbed.How could I relieve the pain​@@DrTomBiernacki

I have excruciating, burning pain in the ball of my right foot. I have never worn shoes with high heels though I danced five nights a week for a decade wearing flimsy shoes. Resulting bilateral foot pain inspired me to consult with a podiatrist 40+ years ago who advised me to begin wearing Birkenstocks. They helped somewhat. I developed a severe case of plantar fasciitis which was relieved by losing 20lbs. weight, wearing New Balance walking shoes with a wide toe box and having custom orthotics made in his office, using plaster of Paris until it hardened to the shape of each foot. Then peeling off the cast. I didn't like them as they felt as if I were walking on the top portion of bowling balls. They were made of hard blue plastic with a softer replaceable cover. I was given foot exercises, such as rolling a water bottle filled with frozen water back and forth under each foot. Eventually, I regained full range of motion and could walk with little or no pain. Yay! Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with a 10x14x16cm. mixed ovarian cyst which required surgery for removal. 7 months later, having never fully recovered, an abscess broke in which a foul-smelling liquid spilled out from my vagina. I was referred to a general surgeon for a colorectal barium enema to detect the origin of a colovaginal fistula. My surgeon was pleased that it showed up on the light board as being in the sigmoid colon as he reassured me that a fistula is harder to repair if within the rectum and it often does not fully heal, requiring further surgery. I had the second abdominal surgery within 8 months. Frustrated by this rare and challenging series of surgeries as well as having suffered with abdominal pain from adhesions, scar tissue, I was more than ready to be done. My body, however, was not done as I woke up in the recovery room, holding the PCA button to self-administer morphine, surprised that the highest level did not lessen the excruciating, burning pain in the forefoot of my right foot. Morphine was very effective in nearly 100% relieving the 11 inch vertical incision scar yet did nothing for my poor right forefoot. Surgeons were puzzled and referred me to a vascular surgeon. I was referred to a neurologist, and a few other specialists, finally arriving at a podiatrist's office. My foot was purplish, very cold to touch, swollen (edema) with toenails growing in strange ways as they curl upwards, are layered and very painful to cut. My dear husband cuts them for me as I scream. She diagnosed me as having CRPS, complex regional pain syndrome, formerly called RSD, reflex sympathetic dystrophy.. She referred me to a pain specialist, who informed me that there is no clear cure for RSD but polypharmacy, trying many different medications from different groups, is the method for treating its symptoms. No one knows what causes it though it involves nerve injury, thus the burning component, excruciating burning pain as if walking on hot coals. Its nickname is "the suicide disease" as people before finding meds that help to reduce their pain are often suicidal. I was before being prescribed Oxycontin 10mg. It took the edge off enough to give me hope as I spent two years trying different meds until I found ones I could tolerate that were effective in reducing my pain. I've also tried every procedure that claimed to offer pain relief from a series of lumbar sympathetic nerve blocks, which gave me temporary yet nearly full pain relief up to one week. That was sooo wonderful though I was devastated when the stubborn pain returned. I gained a few extra days with each block though my pain doctor felt that it was no longer beneficial, given the risks involved. I tried Calmare and got substantial pain relief for five whole days, yet followed by worse pain than I had when I had started. Fortunately, after three horrible weeks, pain returned to my normal level. It scared me bigtime to think that I might have to live with worsened pain. I lost momentum and my willingness to try any experimental procedure in hopes of some pain relief. Then Covid hit and gave me an enforced rest break. It's been a rough road though I am finally at a pain level that gives me the ability to walk, even dance if I do it briefly, with tolerable pain most of the time except for some awful nights. It is unpredictable for the most part though I am aware of things that will reliably trigger greater pain. I have sound allodynia, sound sensitivity such that loud noises, even loud pleasurable sounds, will exacerbate my pain. My husband is fast at muting loud music or applause or screams in movies. .My new pain doctor ordered a neurogram of my right foot scheduled for this Friday, Sept. 16, 2022, as he suspects that the pain could be due to a Morton's neuroma. Though skeptical after living with one consistent diagnosis for 19 years, I hope he's right as I've been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, which began after a colon resection 19 years ago. If the cause is a Morton's neuroma, the nerve can be surgically removed. The downside is the likelihood that I will thereafter have numbness in the toes and possibly forefoot. It seems that there is no free ride within the world of medicine.

Ball of right foot I am uneven tingling numbness driving me crazy

How did you end up fixing the pain?

@@aaronaufdenberg1397 Seems that stomping around in the yard must have severed the nerve.

​​@@TheWirdbird And ( after you severed the nerve) how does it feel now ? No other symptoms ? I have it on my right foot :/

​@@DrTomBiernacki the local podiatrist told me that in all of his years helping people with foot problems he never came across someone who correctly self diagnosed the problem that they had. He initially thought i was a medical doctor myself. I confirmed to him that I was indeed a DR specializing in BS :) After doing the x-ray the "knuckle" on my second toe is now flat whereas all the others are round. Dr. Allen said that fixing the deformity of my toe was not possible but the plantar tear can be healed in 6-8 weeks. he recommended using strips of moleskin from the local walgreens. The only question that i failed to ask is if i have to worry about arthritis in that toe as i get older. Anyway, thank you for your help. i am actually enjoying watching your other videos since you seem to take a holistic approach to medicine.

I have pulled ligaament. In my knee

Angela, thank you for watching. We really hope that you feel better soon, that is tough for sure! We really hope that your condition will start to improve. Usually there are some physiological causes of numbness or tingling in the feet or toes. The best solution is to visit for consultation with your podiatrist as there as many possible causes of this sensation and identification of underlying causes may require in person examination or imaging of leg.

Thanks for the great response Alex! Usually this is a compression issue caused by the floor or the inside of the shoe (associated with overpronation or flattening of the feet) If possible, we would appreciate a quick & easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CSzlpzp7G82TEBM/review Thanks again for watching!

Thank you for your kind information brilliant I will have to watch a few times 👌 to see what best I can do. THANK YOU.

Thanks for the great response! Yes it can hit both equally for sure. It can take a few months for the pain to go away. We wish we were closer and could help more.

Any improvement? What did you do? Thanks

In scenarios with a comminuted fracture you should trust and speak with your surgeon. These can be very difficult to manage and can have any complications.

Thank you 💐💐

Where can I buy the socks?

We appreciate you watching and contributing Carol! B12 supplementation is great, but an injection would probably not help a local nerve. We have great results with a light steroid shot and good insoles.
