At night, when distractions are gone, the nerve signals become impossible to ignore, but the damage is happening around the clock.Q: Is numbness in the feet serious?A: Yes. Numbness means the nerve damage has advanced past the burning and tingling phase to a point where the nerve fibers may be dying. Damage at this stage can become irreversible, and patients face a significantly higher risk of falls and injuries they cannot feel happening.Q: What is tarsal tunnel syndrome?A: Tarsal tunnel syndrome is compression of the tibial nerve at the inside of the ankle. It produces sudden electrical jolts or sharp pain with each step, is significantly more common than most doctors currently recognize, and is frequently misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: www.bregmanfance.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bregman_fance/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BregmanFootandNerveYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrPeterBregmanDPMfootguru🔔 Subscribe for weekly breakdowns on foot health, nerve conditions, and regenerative medicine from a board-certified foot surgeon with nearly 30 years of clinical experience.ABOUT DR.
