And it can cause alot of pain after awhile when the worse happens than hopefully it starts to slow down the pain. Basically, what I did was walked it out and gave it some time but it was breathtaking. First, I suffered the numbness for about 6 weeks than the pain finally came thru. To me it was the pain that woke my foot up. But most definetly see a doctor right away in case its something else.

Let me know what happens. Good Luck and God bless. Patti
