neves loss
by Lary-Kimbal-Jr, Jan 25, 1999 12:00AM
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
