What to do for my throbbing leg and numb toes?
Patient: I hit my shin on Friday and along with the pain my toes went numb. I also have a swollen knee and pain in my hips. I have no bruising at all but the swelling went down a little yesterday. Now my leg is throbbing and my toes are once again numb. Any suggestions? Thanks Doctor: Hi,  Probably there is damage to nerves in your hip or spine that is causing the numbness and throbbing pain. Consult orthopedic surgeon for detailed examination and investigations.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Regards, Dr. Gopal Goel,  Orthopedic Surgeon
