Question
In February this year, due to prolonged walking in ill-fitting shoes, I experienced foot pain and numbness. After examination and diagnosis, it was found that I had severe peroneal nerve damage. After 10 days of hospitalization, there was no significant improvement, and I am asking how to heal it.
Answer
The main symptoms of peroneal nerve damage are foot drop and regional numbness on the lateral part of the lower leg. If not treated promptly and correctly, it may lead to ischemic muscle atrophy of the lower leg, resulting in functional loss. The key to treatment lies in early intervention, combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine to enhance the regional blood circulation in the damaged nerve area and prevent secondary nerve adhesions or deformities. At the same time, professional shoe protection for the ankle joint should be designed to avoid bone wear deformation, and appropriate physical training should be carried out. For further assistance, please provide electromyography and medical history data for consultation.
