Question:
I have a very good feeling I have nerve damage on my foot which is causing my big toe to be numb. I had a pretty deep puncture wound on the bottom of my foot right where my big toe starts. I think my foot was also broke due to this injury but that part of it is healed and so is the puncture wound but I still have no feeling in my big toe. When I press around the healing wound where there is now a scab, I feel a burning sensation and the harder I press the more it burns. Does this mean the nerves are gone? I can't imagine that it is completely severed but I heard once a nerve is damaged it won't grow. So is that it? I will never feel my big toe again? What can I do about this?
Answers:
yikes!
my best guess is that it is not nerve damage, but circulatory damage. It sounds to me like your toe is not getting the proper blood flow. I cannot begin to tell you how dangerous this is, you really need to get to an emergency room, stat.
Seriously, your toe go gangrene (die) and release poison into your blood system. The longer you wait, they higher the risk of loosing a toe, limb or your life.
