Numbness in the foot due to fracture can be relieved through medications, exercises, and other methods. Nerve damage can be treated with oral medications such as mecobalamin, and acupuncture may also be used to promote nerve regeneration. If foot movement is limited, it's important to exercise the joints and muscles to prevent joint stiffness and muscle atrophy, preparing for future walking. If movement problems occur, especially accompanied by numbness, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is essential.
