Post ingrown toe nail removal 2 days, numb big toe

Update: Four days later. Still numb/tingly. Thank you.

 

Nerves can remain irritated for many months after damage. If you are taking care to prevent infection by following post surgical recommendations, that is about the best you can do. Some people experience relief from nerve pain if they put a strong magnet above the site of injury, in this case on the back of your foot over the bones that go to the big toe. Good luck, I had a surgery a year ago under my arm and sometimes it feels like I am getting stabbed along the well healed scar. I am told this is the nerves regrowing.

 

Thank you sir/madam. It is less numb now, and mostly just painful.
