What Causes Numbness And Tingling On Toes After A Bunion Surgery?
Hi....I had bunion surgery 3 weeks ago this Friday. I went to my doctor this past Tuesday and he put a hard cast on my foot. My foot and my toes are numb almost constantly and they tingle. Is this normal? I ve never had a cast before, but it s driving me crazy! If it s normal, then I will just deal with the annoyance for the next 4 weeks, however, if it s not normal, then I will call and schedule an appointment to go in and have them fix it. Thank you in advance for your advise.
