Neuropathy in the foot can be caused by nerve sheath tumor, neurofibroma, and peripheral neuropathy, which can be treated by surgery and medication.
1. Nerve Sheath Tumor: Tumor on the nerves innervating the feet, such as nerve sheath tumor, can cause pain and numbness in the innervated area. Surgery can be taken to remove the tumor and relieve the pressure on the nerve root, and the pain will disappear gradually.
2. Neurofibroma: If neurofibroma occurs in the nerves innervating the feet, corresponding symptoms can also appear. Since the tumor comes from the nerve bundle membrane cells, it is more difficult to remove. Often it is necessary to excise the tumor and remove the nerve root that carries the tumor. If the nerve tone is low, nerve anastomosis can also be performed.
3. Peripheral neuropathy: If the patient has diabetes mellitus for a long period of time, the nerves in the feet may become diseased. Patients can use hypoglycemic drugs to control blood sugar, such as metformin, insulin and so on. At the same time can apply nutritive nerve drugs, such as vitamin B₁, methylcobalamin and so on. When the symptoms are severe, pain medication, such as ibuprofen, can be used. Local physical therapy can also be performed to relieve nerve pain in the feet.
It is recommended to seek medical attention in time and use medication under the guidance of a physician.
