Is it possible I damaged my feet?

Asked by awomanscorned (11261points) March 27th, 2011 from iPhone

I wore 5 inch heels Friday night, and 48 hours later, the balls of both my feet and two toes on my right are still numb. Is it possible I permanently damaged my feet? Or will this go away in a few days?

And yes, if you’re wondering, the shoes were damn hot.

It’s probably not permanent. I hope the rest of the outfit was as hot as the shoes… :) I t would be only fitting.

Yes, but I doubt it’s permanent – give it a couple days and a really long soak in the tub.

@noelleptc Oh my…. Nice visual there..

@noelleptc See, I prefer more of an ethereal, understated, flowing dress paired with some do-me leather boots that go up at least mid-calf.

That happened to me once before, and a good soak and giving my feet a break made it better. I would say, though, if it isn’t better by tomorrow.. you might want to go to the doc, just in case.

Perhaps you’ve temporarily pinched a nerve above the heel of your foot or in that area.

In addition to the advice offered by the above victims of high heel use, I would suggest wearing flats for awhile, and gently and slowly stretching the top of your feet toward your shins.

You’re probably ruined for life. We’ll either have to put you down or go down on you. I’m not sure which one is the answer.

@noelleptc Well, maybe there’s chance you can be rehabbed.

@noelleptc both feet are numb? Or just one?

I’m sure it will go away, I thought it was only one foot, though. Definitely if it’s not better tomorrow-ish, you should call your doctor. I hope your tootsies are better soon. <3
