Ankle Neuropathy Treatment: Pathways to Relief and Recovery

Ankle Neuropathy Treatment, a condition characterized by nerve damage or irritation around the ankle, can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness. The causes of this condition can vary widely, ranging from repetitive stress injuries and trauma to systemic diseases like diabetes and autoimmune disorders. Understanding the available treatment options is crucial for those affected, as effective management can significantly improve quality of life.

Understanding Ankle Neuropathy

Ankle neuropathy occurs when nerves that run through or near the ankle are compressed or damaged. Common symptoms include sharp or burning pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness in the foot and ankle. In some cases, the condition may lead to a loss of balance or difficulty walking.

The primary causes of ankle neuropathy include physical trauma, repetitive stress injuries, and medical conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and peripheral artery disease. Accurate diagnosis often requires a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as nerve conduction studies or imaging scans.

Conservative Treatment Options

Rest and Activity Modification: Reducing or modifying activities that exacerbate symptoms can help alleviate pain and prevent further nerve damage. Resting the affected ankle allows inflammation to subside and promotes healing.

Physical Therapy: Tailored physical therapy programs can strengthen the muscles around the ankle, improve flexibility, and enhance overall stability. Specific exercises may include stretching, strengthening, and balance training.

Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. In some cases, doctors may prescribe stronger pain relievers or medications to manage neuropathic pain, such as gabapentin or pregabalin.

Orthotic Devices: Custom orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or ankle braces, can provide support and reduce pressure on the affected nerves. These devices can also help correct any biomechanical abnormalities that may contribute to nerve irritation.

Cold and Heat Therapy: Alternating between cold and heat therapy can help reduce inflammation and improve blood flow to the affected area. Cold therapy can numb the area and reduce swelling, while heat therapy can relax muscles and enhance circulation.

Interventional Treatments

Corticosteroid Injections: For more severe or persistent symptoms, corticosteroid injections can help reduce inflammation and provide significant pain relief. These injections are typically administered directly into the affected area by a healthcare professional.

Nerve Blocks: Nerve blocks involve the injection of anesthetic agents near the affected nerves to block pain signals. This treatment can provide temporary relief and help identify the specific nerve causing the symptoms.

Surgical Options

In cases where conservative and interventional treatments are ineffective, surgery may be considered. Surgical options depend on the underlying cause of the neuropathy and may include:

Decompression Surgery: If nerve compression is identified as the primary cause, decompression surgery can relieve pressure on the affected nerve. This procedure involves removing any structures that may be compressing the nerve, such as bone spurs or scar tissue.

Nerve Repair or Grafting: In cases of severe nerve damage, surgical repair or grafting may be necessary to restore nerve function. This procedure involves repairing the damaged nerve or replacing it with a healthy nerve graft from another part of the body.

Lifestyle Modifications and Prevention

Adopting healthy lifestyle habits can help manage symptoms and prevent further nerve damage. These include maintaining a healthy weight, wearing proper footwear, managing underlying medical conditions, and avoiding repetitive stress on the ankles.

Things are now getting out of hand, things getting worse again. While I'm staying at my mom's house for about three months right now my grandma was having a conflict with my sister, and as well with my mother, My mom secretly messaged me and complained about her attitude, which lead to exclude her in my mom's house.

One day, my second older sister told me that my father's diabetis was getting worse, and he had injured in his left foot and got infected. To prevent the infection from spreading to his bone, they need to amputate his left knee. My father left us about 7 yrs ago and now lived with his mistress.

The problem was that his mistress refused to help him, indicating that she didn't truly care about him, it seemed that the consequences of his actions had led to unfavorable results, Our driver took him to my grandfather's house instead of our home so he could recover.

The next morning, We were shocked to see his truck parked in front of our garage. My family had resentment towards my aunt because she supported him by providing him a truck for his business with his mistress,

Due to his adultery, our religion as Jehovah's witnesses condemned his actions and he was expelled from our house for life, it was forbidden for him to stay, and all communication with him was prohibited,

We suspected my grandma's involvement in parking the truck in front of our garage as it was associated with my father's sinful actions. As a result, my sister confronted my grandma, and my grandma was sent exile at my grandfather's house.

This led to my grandma to retaliate by spreading rumors to tarnish our names and cursing us, The situation worsened as our relatives, who had different religions, condemned us for not helping our father without being aware of the true circumstances, Though we were hesitant, we decided to appease them by having my sister give me money to drive my father to the hospital. However, due to my own diabetis and deteriorating health, I couldn't stay at the hospital, and it was my aunt who remained there instead.

In the days i stayed in my mother's house though i felt cared i felt useless, i felt incomplete i saw my sister was successful in her job my brother owns our company and my other older sister has his own family away from us and has stable job with good compensation,

My brother was always drunk and almost everyday he was a public nuisance and he really stressed us out ever since in highschool he always beat me up led to a permanent injury on my neck, which persist until now since he tried to break it, that really traumatized me.

Contemplating things happened way back i ask myself, how about me then? they never helped me when my daughter and x wife left me, they never showed empathy, they blamed me for all the things and mistakes i did until now even though I repent and say sorry for what i have done, i didn't mean to get rebelled during that time because I'm in a state of grief, due to the lost of my own family specially my daughter, because they are not Jehovah Witnesses they treat them differently, i lost them and I'm in pain up until now, it just covered the painful memories by entertainment and family trip and bonding, and by worshipping God, it's painful to see that your x wife married with other guy with my daughter.

They don't know what i really felt because I tried my best not to show or express the sadness I carried. I tried to find happiness in someone but I couldn't, and ended up broke no job no money at all, even though my mom was not talking about it maybe she didn't want me to stay in our house jobless, i feel nothing even I'm at home i need to find a job as soon as possible to make me feel person again to make my mom proud at me and myself, They brag about their wealth but they can't help you at all.

What worries me if my mom will be gone I would hope not and please God give her a long life until i become successful so that i can repay her for what she did for me, It really makes me worried, and I couldn't build a family thinking that if I will stay here longer, it's really hard to find a partner when you're introvert specially if you're a Jehovah Witnesses, i wanted to have my own family since I'm already 36 yrs old, and the worst thing is, if you're in this religion if you disfellowshipped you can't stay in your parents house, though I know that in this age you should be independent but I was robbed I almost build my own empire and almost stand on my own though it's hard, In this religion they will forbid you to communicate to your family lifetime once you committed a serious sin, unless you return or reconcile or repent but it still depends, I can't buy what i want and it's really hard just stay here knowing that you still don't have any at the same time worried that if you work again your health will be deteriorated, I really don't know when should I start, what should I do.

Despite all that i still like this religion because they really follow the Gods law and all his words are true and lead you for good, but sometimes we can't control the situation which leads us to consequences.

Sometimes i think even though I'm still in their religion i still can't feel their help, I saw some other family that they did everything for their son to succeed they supported them, instead of discouraged their son they push them to have a great motivation to succeed, though i can eat and drink and stay at home but they didn't care about what i really want for my future.

Maybe right sometimes only us could build your own empire rather than waiting for God's plan. I don't want to feel being useless and unhappy in my entire life.

I don't know what will I do but what's on my mind right now is to find a job right away, In able for the bycycle to run you need to continue, I don't know if i can make it at this age I'm turning 36 this july 2024 please if there is a God help me.

Introduction to Diabetes:

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition that occurs when the body is unable to properly regulate blood glucose levels. Glucose is a type of sugar and serves as the primary source of energy for the cells in our body. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, plays a crucial role in regulating glucose levels by facilitating the entry of glucose into cells.

There are three main types of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes: This form of diabetes is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. As a result, people with Type 1 diabetes have little to no insulin production and must take insulin injections or use insulin pumps to manage their blood sugar levels.

Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and typically develops in adulthood, although it is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents due to lifestyle changes. In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin's effects, and the pancreas may not produce enough insulin to meet the body's needs. Lifestyle factors such as obesity, sedentary behavior, and unhealthy diets contribute significantly to the development of Type 2 diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes: This type of diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth. However, women who have had gestational diabetes have an increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. If left untreated or poorly managed, diabetes can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, nerve damage (neuropathy), eye problems (retinopathy), and foot ulcers that may lead to amputations.

Diagnosis of diabetes is typically done through blood tests that measure fasting blood glucose levels and, in some cases, an oral glucose tolerance test.

Management of diabetes involves a combination of lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity, and medications, including insulin or oral medications to lower blood glucose levels. It is essential for individuals with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly, adhere to their treatment plan, and work closely with healthcare professionals to prevent complications and maintain overall well-being.

Since diabetes is a chronic condition, ongoing education and support are crucial for individuals living with diabetes to manage their condition effectively and lead a healthy life.

Hey vector i got to ask. We know cybertronian can get autism.thanks to geomotus. But can they can diabeties. Sorry if i spelled anything wrong

Dear Fuel Fan,

I'm not sure Cybertronians can suffer from that particular ailment—our biologies are very different to that of humans, after all—but some of us do suffer from conditions of our own that might be analogous to varying extents. Cybertronians can develop fuel processing disorders, or intolerances to certain kinds of fuel, for many reasons. The Technobot Lightspeed, for instance, is allergic to energon and requires a special lead sulfide additive in order to prevent engine knocking.

COVID-19

Now a days there is new crisis going on knows as COVID-19 or a novel corona virus. The name COVID-19 was given by WHO.  A novel corona virus is well known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to much worse diseases just as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). This virus is made from the family of viruses. This virus is one of the biggest RNA virus. The average diameter of the virus particle is around 120 nm. This virus was identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. This disease is spreading from people to people and common cough, fever and shortness of breath are the main symptoms of a novel corona virus.  In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tracks infections that can range from mild to lethal.

Outbreak of this deadly virus are Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middel East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Old aged people and the people who have diseases like diabeties and cancer are more likely to be affected by COVID-19. According to some studies this virus is originated from bats and is spreading world wide. This virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose which is  typically 5-10 microns in size of human body when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Transmission may also occur by touching surfaces or objects in the immediate environment around the infected person.  

The growth of COVID-19 inceases rapidly. Many countries got affected by this virus like Italy, USA, Spain, France, China, Germany and Iran. Earlier Italy had most number of deaths but USA overtake Italy by a large number of infected persons. Italy president Sergio Mattarella surrendered in front of corona virus. Because of this crisis the prime ministes of India Narender Modi, without any second thaughts, declared lockdown in this pandemic and is taking every single step to protect his country from a novel corona virus. This step is very well taken otherwise there will be many other patients infected from this virus. After taking this step, WHO congratulate prime minister of India and giva an applaud to him. Now every country initiated lockdown. WHO is giving every possible help to them.

The Prime Minister of India, Narender Modi has a national relief fund in which every donation is counted. Anyone can donate in this fund and people of India is taking part in this helpful step by donating as much as they can. The today expenditure from Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund (PMNRF) during this period was Rs 1,594.87 crore.

Every country is trying their best to bee protected from this virus. They are trying to make/get vaccine for corona virus. As this is a very serious situation, everyone should be aware of this crisis. To keep yourself safe follow these steps-

1.       Social Distancing – This is a very big step to keep youself safe. Social distancing is making a distance from every person to be safe. Stay away from infected person and do not leave houses untill tere is very urgent work.

2.       Wear Masks – If you have to go out of your houses, always wear face masks.

3.       Use Sanitizer – sanitize your daily use things such as house doors, kitchen, mobile phones etc.

4.       Wash Hands – wash your hands completely and properly as much as you can. More you wash your hands more safe you will be.

5.       Get a regular checkup – get a regular checkup in every 2 weeks.

Many people thinks that consumption of alcohol can protect them from this deadly virus which is not tru at all. WHO states that drinking alcohol does not protect you from coronavirus infection. Alcohol should always be consumed in moderation and people who do not drink alcohol should not start drinking in an attempt to prevent the infection. Everyone should follow these steps and by doing this we will definitely gonna win this figth against COVID-19. As you can see world health organisation (WHO) is also taking some valueable steps to stop this crisis. Government of every country is requesting you to be safe by following these steps. If you can not protect yourself than how will you protect your country. Now India is helping every country which has many infected persons by supplying them hydroxychloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine is possible treatment for COVID-19. Be home be safe.

2.Hormonal Imbalance: exceed production of androgens, testosteron(male hormone).

*less production of estrogens(the main female hormone) thats why the ovulution is decreased and cuses infertility.

*increase luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone ratio is abnormal shown.

clinical manifestation

In normal condition during each menstrual cycle the ovaries release an egg(ovum) into the uterus this process is called ovulation and usually occurs once in a month, before the egg is ready to be released it develops insight a tiny swelling (called a follicle or cyst) on the ovary each month several follicle starts to develop but in most cases only one goes onto mature fully and release an egg. 

The ovaries are also responsible for estrogen the main female hormone and small quantities of androgens (male hormones) such as testosterone. 

in case of Pcos many follicle are produced but often none develop enough to release an egg. as a result 15-20 follicles stay inside and become cyst. these cyst produce high level of testosterone. causes excess hair on face and its main causes of anovulatory infertility and oligomenorrhea

Abnormal ovarian ultrasound each ovary having a diameter of 2 to 9 mm or increased ovarian volume.

Insulin resistance

Women with PcoS have insulin resistance. this means that cells in the body are resistant to the effect of a normal level of induction.

* fat- limit foods high in saturated and trans fat (i.e , fatty food, red meat, whole milk and dairy product, butter fried food, rich desserts etc.

select mainly mono unsaturated fat (i.e olive oil and canola oil nuts) & omega 3 fatty rich food such as salmon fish, flaxseeds, almond etc.

choose healthy food items during meal and snacks time.

combining protein and carbohydrate during meal and snacks eg. mix vegetable and sprouts, daal upma, soya pulao, etc. for maintaining blood glucose level.

*mineral vitamin & green vegetable eat plenty of green vegetable and beans, not only are vegetable packed with micronutrients like vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals but they are also low in calories & have very low gycenic index value.

FOOD TO BE AVOID

strictly avoid the meals and snacks that primarily contain carbohydrates and fats. eg. potato fingers, poori and potato bhaji, cake, sweet, cookies, samosa, pickle, organ meat like liver and kidney etc.

The anguish grows exponentially

You git sick many times, you git sick in your room, playing with the toys, you git sick again reading comics, you git sick reading harry potter, you git sick playing with your cards, you git sick doodling some drawings, you git sick because no ones understands how much is going on inside you, because you have lived and experienced plenty of emotions through those sicknesses. 

You git sick one last time with the card captor, and that sicknes prlongues everything into the most disgusting of things. 

You git sick, until you cannot face noones face. You git sick to the most tiring state. Overthem all. 

You watch the lord of the rings, and you git sick, because you can now see that sickness as a form of art. 

With time you have become so sickingly speacial that you will melt everywhere, you are just wanting to cry for months now, because you are so special and no one gets that, no one gives you an special treatment for it. 

You are vain, and superficial into your little role, you understand, you have put your pants down and let life fuck you everyday hard, you don’t complain, you just whim a bit, that little suffering that feels more like a compliment to you. That is your dose of self pitty, your dose of pajazo mental, it is what your weakness crave, what your special feels are protected by, what allows you to just quirck an akward smile, crack your voice mid sentece, dont salute dont say goodbye, why would they wont have sex with you, doesnt matter you ed already took care of that. 

You feel the most when you re being vulnerated. When others pass over you, it gives you a reason for your arrogance, for your petulance, for not having to talk, to start a conversation, to get over yourself. 

Now angry, you may have a thing with your bladder apart from the liking of those cursed girls, it has taken over, 31 and your life is finally over, no nothing, just a polluted mind that cannot keep up with the pace, you could not fulfill at any aspect of your life. 

Your are not to become a magnate of the hinges, and with your work pace, you wont for sure, you wont deliver another comic, with your urges to masturbate and cry, you wont be loved by a lovely girl, with your dependance on your family, and your lack of money and personality, you will depend on them and resent them, cracking that last core of protection, family, you unable to protect them back, are going to be the weak slate, the sibling that brings doom to it all. 

You will not be able to writte another book, your mind not able to contain yourself, will make you jump from page to page, over and over again, numbing and killing any ideas that you could fullfill with work. 

You wont have a nice body, you propensity to failure and falling attitude will prevent your from that. You wont be able to love, you lack of self respect, and self hatred, and complete lack of self steem will hinder any love, otside from the love out of needing, deeply needing. 

You wont decorate create your self with clothes and tattos, your trasgiversed image of your self, and worries about others hating you deeply will keep you from that too. 

you wont be accepted by the weird ones, because you will think that you are better than everyone else. Or so you used to think. 

Your mental breackdown runs deeper and deeper, that there is not a single are in which you could shine and polish yourself, all of them act as one, as one inmense failure, as one inmense web of reardation, of feelling able to do it all, of feeling special, and failling to the point were it is shamefull. 

unable to love your biggger family, to keep up a conversation with them, to dont feel not wanted everywere, to feel accomodated to a leftover space, used by your own sister, so she can actually achieve life. 

After failling in everything, specially after failling into the only relationship that mattered, that gived you blowjobs without asking, that kept you ed at bay, that onw big failure, that is having a very wide impact on everything. 

Then what is left, ti keep you hopes low, to endure, to hang in there. Not to kill yourself. 

Try not to embrass all with your tiny limbid and hairy arms, your place ursurped, you are then a byproduct of it all. 

Your just waited for life to happen, and so, you could easly determine that the eyes would pass and they will encounter exactly the same as you expected, nothing changed, there was no change because there was no action, there was no life into you, there was only safe plays, mediocre plays, always the easiest path, always giving all for granted because you were always better than “that”,si life passed you by, you didnt surprised no one, you didnt surprised your self, the only thing that surprised you is that the easiest path didnt work, showing you only that you were wrong in so many different ways, you are creepy looking now, you cannot scape yourself, you cannot scape the others, you ran into hiding but the places to hide are running out, all that humiliation and shame you bring with yourself everywhere, the shame of not having a life, not living a life, just waiting to decay easly, cancer, diabetis, high colesterol, little sexual intercourses, little fun. 

Such a snowflake craving for a good deserved attention. They will notice, someone will notice the mess your are, I mean they notice inmediatly, so they take a distance, so alone, so depressed, left alone and depressed. Why you cannot engage anymore into good people’s skill, you have parted ways with that  long time ago, after you stopped living, after that everyone kept living, striving, commiting errors, asuming their own range. 

You didint even try, you took a step back and let life degenerate you, inaction, lazyness, just frequent masturbation, just none. You didn’t take an stand on life, your own stand, you thought that by watching tumblr, watching the movies, listening to the artists you were becoming like them, you clearly couldnt differentiate from a artists public image from a persons image, you actually stupidly thought you were some piece of art your self, not even tattoing yourself, like wtf you thought people saw in you, if you ever showed anything than weakness and lack of self control. You didnt even dressed nice, just like a nice guy. omg i forgot the nice guy syndrome, you ever wondered why no girl ever dropped their panties at you. Maybe because from all that darkness you never took a risk, a way of making yourself your own self. you thought that dressing balck was enough. <Even in college you didnt even took the fucking risk to dress goth or metalhead, to workyourself into yourself. To know yourself and belive in yourself. 

To understand the secret world that goes beneath the world of “normal”, you missed it, die. 

[scripttorture]

I want to blind my character, but I'm not sure how I would do this in a torture setting and I was wondering if you could help me? I don't mind if it's accidentally (or through lack of proper treatment maybe) or it was intentional, but I'm not sure how this could be done without disfiguring the eye itself. If disfigurement is unavoidable, I can still work around it though

Depends what you mean by ‘disfiguring’ the eye.

There are a lot of ways people can go blind without obvious damage tothe eye (and sometimes without damage to the eye at all). That usually happenseither through brain damage or damage to the optic nerve. However I’m not sureeither of those would fit well in a torture scenario- which leaves physicaldamage to the eye.

And before I forget I should also add that ‘blind’ is usually a legallydefined term for eyesight at a certain measurably low level that can’t becorrected medically (I believe the threshold varies with country). The majorityof legally blind people have someeyesight, even if it is just detection of light vs dark or vague shapes. If myeyesight couldn’t be corrected I would be classed as blind (in the UK).Uncorrected I can focus to a distance of about 2-3 inches away from my face. Ican see colour very well and rough shapes. I couldn’t see faces, read and Iprobably couldn’t cross the road safely. But I wouldn’t be walking into walls.

I am honestly unsure what level of vision a character who went throughsome of the procedures I’m going to suggest would be left with. The majorityare basically scarring the outside of the eye which suggests that somedetection of light and colour might be possible. I’d suggest trying to researchcases of scarring or acid attacks to confirm that.

The most obvious way blindness has been inflicted historically isremoving the eyes. I’vegot a previous post on removing eyeballs and blinding here that might be useful.But since this is definitely obvious from a distance it doesn’t entirely fitwith what you want.

The traditional Indian method of inflicting blindness was to insert aheated needle into the eye. I’m honestly not sure exactly what aspect of thisprevents sight; it would cause pretty major damage to several essential partsof the eye at once. I’m also not sure what level of vision, if any, a charactertreated like this would have.

The injury would be pretty obvious immediately after the attack but I’mnot sure if the damage would still be visible from a distance monthsafterwards. Chemical burns to the eye can sometimes cause a milky appearance.Heat burns might look similarbut…that’s not necessarily the case: think of the visual difference between apiece of fish that’s been barbequed and ceviche (which is chemically cooked).

A higher level of scarring around the face is possible depending on howyou plan out the scenario. If the victim isn’t restrained and can strugglethere’s a pretty high chance the attackers will burn and stab their face a fewtimes attempting to hit the eye.

The other thing that comes to mind is- well chemical burns.

Strong acid, alkali and a truly terrifying array of oxidising andreducing agents can cook, saponify or otherwise transform an eyeball into anun-eye-like substance. Generally anything that could quickly blind a personcould also scar other tissue aroundthe eye.

Acid attack victims with eye injuries often have much more obviousscarring to the eyelids, eyebrows and upper face. Sometimes they look as thoughtheir eyelids have melted together like candle wax.

I have heard of people beingblinded by having chemicals dripped directly into the eyes. This is how consensual blinding often takes place.The only source I’ve found that specified a chemical in consensual blindingused bleach. This is a much weaker mixture of chemicals then that used in acidattacks but leaving it in the eye longer can result in injuries that are justas serious.

Alkali burns to the eyes, from substances like lye dust, tend to be moreserious and are more common. Though they’re more associated with industrialaccidents then chemical attacks. Lye also wouldn’t cause massive burns to theface if it was an airborne power. However using a powder would risk injury tothe attacker/s as well as the victim.

After abit of digging I found a very good slide show on chemical eye injuries here.There’s a lot of pictures of injured eyes, just as a warning.

The slides strongly suggest that any burn serious enough to blind wouldalso cloud the cornea in a way that would be visible to other people. A corneatransplant would get rid of that milky colour but you want the characterblinded and a procedure like this would only be done if it had a chance ofrestoring some vision.

Damage to the retina could also cause blindness, but I can’t think of away to have a character do that in a torture setting without causing otherserious, lasting injuries.

So- with the caveat that I think somelevel of cornea scarring is inevitable my suggestions are either going withsomething similar to the traditional Indian method described or using a chemical variant on ‘pepper’.

‘Pepper’ is generally a clean, or non-scarring, torture where chemicalirritants (usually spices like chilli, black pepper etc) are put in mucousmembranes. The eyes are usually avoided nowadays but historically they used tobe targeted as well.

Pick out a household or garden shed sort of chemical: bleach, ovencleaner, a particularly noxious insect killer, and have the torturer use that.This method leaves you scope to decide whether the blinding is accidental ordeliberate: the torturer might not necessarily know how dangerous orconcentrated the chemical is.

The risk of permanent blindness increases the longer the character isleft enable to wash the chemical out of their eye. That aspect fits very wellwith a torture scenario whether the blinding was deliberate or not.

I hope that helps. :)

Edit: I considered and rejected head injuries as a cause of eyesight loss because trying to inflict precise brain damage in a torture situation is impossible. Beating the character about the head might cause blindness…and coma and death.

Edit: An Anon sent this addition via the askbox ‘Also too the blind post, if they want it to be an accident, know someone who lost vision in one eye because she stopped taking her medicine for a few weeks (i think it wad for diabeties) and almost lost it in the other, the only thing that stopped it was surgery, so that's always a possibility too‘ 

Diabetes can result in blindness when untreated and it can happen incredibly quickly. It would also leave no scarring and so may be the best fit for your ask. Not eating properly and not taking enough insulin can have a lot of effects on diabetics and I’d strongly suggest doing a lot of research before choosing this solution. 

I actually really like this as a solution, diabetes is one of the most common disabilities worldwide and one of the most underrepresented in fiction. Thank you for suggesting it Anon.
