side of foot pain

I am having pain on my right foot on the side. It is painful if I walk a lot and with certain shoes. Even aerobic sneakers make it painful

I would also suggest seeing a foot specialist. I had this same problem and it is all but gone. Get you a pair of specially made orthotics for your shoes from that doctor. The kind where you step in a piece of molding foam and they send that off so your orthotics will be just for you. They will hold up your arch and support your foot. They are expensive though. Hope you have insurance to cover it.
Here are some tips from my podiatrist:

Never go barefoot, EVER, not in the house either. If you have a no shoes rule in your house, get a new pair of sneakers for just in the house, so they will always be clean. You must have support for your feet by wearing shoes.

I can't tell by your name if you are male or female, but if female, don't wear flat soled shoes. (Sandals, dress shoes, etc.)

You probably walk slightly on the outside of your foot normally, and this is stressing the muscle/tendons there. Try to consciously walk slightly to the inside for a while and see if this helps.

Also get one of those bunion kits with the little felt pads and put that UNDER the insole of your shoe where the outside of your heel would be until you can get your insoles. Even that little bit of tilt to the inside can make a huge difference.

After you have your insoles, ask your podiatrist to use the grinder and grind DOWN a spot on the inside heel of the insole, to help you tilt in just a smidge.

Freeze a 20oz bottle of water. When you are sitting down in front of the tube at night, roll the bottle gently under your foot for half an hour. Do this whenever you can sit down and take a break. It helps to calm the inflammation.

Hope this helps a little

I noticed a few months ago that when I walk more than 3 miles, my right foot gets a pain on the right side. To be honest I never really wore shoes made for long walks so I figured it was due to that and just laid back from walking for a few days.

Went hiking a few days ago, again in not-made-for-walking shoes (when will I learn?) but this time the pain on the right side of my foot will NOT go away. The pain is between my ankle bone and toes. It doesn't hurt when I'm sitting. It doesn't hurt when I walk on my tippy toes (I even wore heels the other night and NO pain) and walking on my heel makes no pain, but once I try to walk normally the pain returns 'til I cannot take a step w/o excruciating pain.

My foot does not look inflamed, but it does appear that it doesn't line up like my left foot does... so could a bone have moved or is it a tendon issue? And how long, typically, does it take to get better?

I'm 28, female, and in generally good shape. I do not work out excessively, but do enjoy my long walks.

Any advice or suggestions or answers would be appreciated. If it will heal on its own or it's nothing major, I'd like to leave the whole doctor thing out of it.
