[|Human|] My right heel is numb on the back right corner....it seems to have happened the last 2 days...I did do some workouts at a gym at our office this week...wondering if anything I did could have caused it? I do sit most of the day at my desk....I try to get a walk in during the day, but don t always manage to.
[|AI|]  Hello, There is a nerve that supplies feeling to the back inner corner of the heel called the medial calcaneal nerve. This nerve is sensory only and does not power any muscles.  It's possible that if the workouts you were doing were new, and your shoes didn't fit quite right, that you could have irritated this nerve.  This nerve isn't commonly irritated, or at least it doesn't bother people enough to come to the doctor.  Perhaps you want to make sure you have good fitting exercise shoes, but I wouldn't worry either way because it will probably go away on its own.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
