Thank you so much @amandaburnett! Yes, July 2020 my flip flop got caught and my big toe and foot flexed under me (plantar flexion injury). I was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of big toe and placed in post-op shoe for 4 wks. I also had bruising all along the inside of 1st metatarsal. When I came out of the shoe, I had midfoot pain with going down stairs, squatting, uneven ground, and for the next several months pain at various places along medial aspect of foot and swelling in foot. The doctors I saw were so dismissive and COVID was surging, so I didn't seek a 2nd opinion until this spring as pain was worsening and becoming more constant. Pain is medial midfoot, sometimes sole of foot and sometimes behind medial malleolus if flared up. MRI shows atrophy of foot intrinsics innervated by medial plantar and lateral plantar nerves, and EMG shows that motor function of those nerves is impaired but sensory function is fine. My doctor gave up on me, and I had to push to see specialist, but it's been 5 months since I first reached out for help and still trying to get to someone who can help. Tinel's is negative. No sign of entrapment on MRI or nerve ultrasound. I'm not very old and used to being active. My doctor said I'm near the end of the window of opportunity to save the muscle before it dies from lack of nerve supply, yet I'm still trying to find someone to help. Any advice welcome. I find it's very difficult to advocate for yourself with doctors without having them just give up on you.
