Question Title: neves lossForum: Neurology Forum
| ||||
To whom it may concern, I suffered a TBI on 2/2/95. I had a right brain injury. I recently had some ingrown toenails removed. I felt nothing on my left foot but my right hurt. I was told I had insignificant nerve loss so I do not understand why my left foot has very little sensitivity. Larry Kimball Jr.
There are many possible reasons for the difference in sensation, the procedure could have been done differently on one side as opposed to the other, the nerves in one foot may possibly be damaged as part of a separate process like a peripheral neuropathy, or you may have a small area of damage on the right side of the brain where the sensitivity of the left foot is mediated. It is not possible on the basis of the information available, without the opportunity to examine you and look at CT scans etc, to say what exactly id the underlying problem in this case
