Hi Mark,
Our son had the misfortune last summer to have had a serious injury to his brachial plexus, which is essentially the nerve group that regulates the sensation and movement in the upper half of the body(c3-t1). BUT it has had its benefits in that I have learned a ton about nerves...
My guess is that the nerve (s) to your foot were damaged during your period of agony. Gradual impingement, probably, with compression of part of the nerve. Even after the cause of injury has been removed, the nerve continues suffering, although hopefully it starts to recover. Nerves take FOREVER to regenerate - they say an inch a month - so, voila - after a time, your nerve finally and fully regenerated.
That is how it happens in brachial plexus injuries. It looks like nothing is happening for months, and then, all of a sudden, there is a flicker of movement, and it builds slowly from there.
