    Where exatly is the pain? On the inside of the foot, outside? Near the big toe?

    Can you describe the pain?

    It is on the right isde of my right foot - about 1/2 way between by heel and toes. Sensitive at times to the touch. When I exercise or do a lot of walking the pain worsens. Sometimes it is painful when just sitting

    You probably need to go to a podiatrist and get some x-rays. You did not say which foot it is in, so the right side could still be the inside or the outside.

    You also do not mention your age. If you are still young it could be the growth plate fusing together.

    Doctors have known for years that the alternate application of heat and cold coupled with massage to sore and inflamed tissue relieves pain, reduces swelling and promotes healing. The problem has always been how to massage with heat and follow immediately with cold massage.

    You might try this foot therapy device, Foot Thing. Sounds silly, but it really works. It uses heat therapy to increase circulation, cold therapy to reduce swelling and massage to knead out dense tissue issues.

    Useful for: Heel Spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Pain, Strains, Countless Foot Ailments and just Tired/Aching Feet.

    Best of Success!

    Have you followed through and seen a Podiatrist? It might something as simple as an orthotic to wear in your shoe and it could be complicated enough to warrant other corrective measures.

    Thanks for your interest... but I first got it diagnosed by a GP of Plantar Fasciitis and referred to a Podiatrist.

    The Podiatrist agreed and sent me home with instruction to use a frozen bottle of water... which helped, but was nothing compared to that Foot Thing!.

    I mean... the stretching and the cold therapy work, but in order to combine heat, deep massage AND cold therapies I found nothing that did the trick like this item.

    The price point was right... only $19.95... and I think it's less on eBay and it was invented by a couple of Podiatrists. One of them is the nephew of Dr. Scholl, the foot guy!

    Anyway... you can work for a year at regular therapy and visits to the doctor or make an investment of $20 (less on eBay!) and find relief fast!

    This way you can avoid getting those painful shots and get back to using your feet for walking instead of limping around... lol

    Thanks for your input!

    So, someone asks a legitimate question and sure enough some scammer with a product to sell starts posting advertisements disguised as discussion posts.

    I have the same issue, a sharp pain on the outside of my foot. Started when I got new shoes. Best answer I can find is to stop wearing the new shoes. Bummer.

    In a million years I will never use that Foot Thing... just because of that jerk.

    I have a similar problem. It's my right foot, on the right side, half way down. It started as just the occasional pain, but it happens more frequently. When the pain occurs it is really sharp and makes me feel sick - it feels like the bones on that side of my foot are 'crunching'. Went to A&E yesterday and they x-rayed it for a stress fracture but that came back clear and have given me some anti-inflammatory drugs, which I feel they do when then don't know what is wrong with you. I am a 30 year old female by the way. I have no other problems apart from knackered knees from Kickboxing, which I haven't participated in for about 6 months now. The prob with my feet started about 4-6 weeks ago.

    Any advice would be most welcomed.

    Thanks

    I am having the same problem- right bottom side halfway down on right foot. It is occasional and when it happens it hurts for a few days & then gone. I would really like to know what it is. I am a healthy active 28 year old female. I wear different comfy shoes every day & I have good feet inserts. It doesn't matter what shoes/inserts I'm wearing. It is just sparatic. My doctor has told me I have plantar facitis, but this pain is different than that. The painful red area is about the size of a quarter. I do think icing it does help a little.

    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
