I have been having a pain in my left foot, conviently just two years ago (before all this has happened) I had a benign tumor removed from my left calf. Nonetheless, I'm seventeen years old and experiencing pains within my left foot now. I have seen a specialized foot doctor a couple of months ago -- and I was then injected with a shot of cortizon. Yet, it never helped. In fact, the pain has gotten worse. I know exactly where it is located, and that it is a pinched nerve -- even the doctor has said so. However, my third and fourth toes have gotten numb after that shot. Should I go back and see my orthopedic doctor, and would this result in my having to have it surgically divided -- or do I need more cortizon shots? He told me that sometimes people need to come back for two shots... but if my toes have gotten numb, and everytime (whenever I'm lying down) I stand up, and land on my left foot and have it tingling, isn't that bad? With/without shoes, (I'm flatfooted also, and overweight -- could it be the symptom to me having diabetes?) it still aches. Even sitting down, and resting my foot on a level object it still aches. I'm concerned. Should I be?
