“Can you play sports with nerve damage?”

I would need more information about your nerve pain and what sports to answer this. If you want to get a free 30 minute consultation you can go to my social media pages on FB, IG, YT or Pinterest: chronicpainrescue

I am not clear about your foot problem. If you had nerve damage, there are symptoms of loss of sensation (no pain), muscle weakness/atrophy and possibly deformity. Then you function up to your physical limits, sports or not. I really doubt that you have "nerve damage". You might have pain which is NEVER a nerve problem. I can't comment further without knowing what problems you have.  

Probably yes, depending on how much damage and what nerve is involved.
