Dealing with Nerve Pain in Your Foot

Nerve pain in the foot can be sharp, burning, tingling, or feel like pins and needles. It’s often caused by conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, nerve compression (like tarsal tunnel syndrome), or injury. This type of pain can make walking, standing, or even resting uncomfortable, and it may worsen over time if left untreated.

One common cause is diabetes, which can damage nerves in the feet over time. Other factors include injury, poor circulation, or wearing tight shoes that put pressure on nerves.

Managing nerve pain starts with identifying the underlying cause. Treatments may include medications, physical therapy, orthotics, and lifestyle changes. Proper footwear, good blood sugar control (for diabetics), and avoiding repetitive stress are essential for relief.
