<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hello, so I was barefoot and taking out the trash and I stepped on something in the garage the area affected is my right big toe. Initially I thought it was a thorn, but there is no evidence of that, there is just excruciating pain, tingling and numbness, no blood or anything like that and I can t seem to see anything in my toe. I went beck out there to see if maybe I stepped on a dead bee or some sort of spider but i couldn t find anything. The pain tingling and numbness effects are getting worse as well...  <response>: Hi, Thanks for your query. The symptoms that you are having are likely to be due to a nerve root compression. You need to get an MRI scan of the area done and consult a neurophysician for proper diagnosis and treatment.Meanwhile, you can follow these measures:- If the pain is severe, you need bed rest till the pain resolves. - Get some analgesics prescribed and apply analgesic spray or ointments.- While resting, keep a pillow under your knees if it doesnt bother you.- Avoid lifting heavy objects.- Back strengthening exercises and stretching exercises daily as advised by a Physiotherapist.- Avoid exercises in times of pain. - Improvise your posture while sitting. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
