Still having the pain but not as bad. Bone scan indicated arthritis in the ankle which is bull**** since the pain is on the top outside of the foot. I have noticed that it seems worse when I walk on uneven ground. Still trying to figure it out!
Thanks, I have decided to see a orthopedic doctor. My pain and discomfort is a little worse and if it just takes an exercise or ointment then I can go for that because surgery is surly out.
I had mild pain like this on my right foot for a couple of months now... it would come and go, but since yesterday I have had sharp pains on my left foot, so that I can barely walk on it. It throbs even while resting, and is a stabbing pain while I am trying to walk on it. Pulling my foot upwards or downwards increases the pain (dorsiflexion or plantar flexion). It almost feels like a bone is out of place and I want to grab a hammer and crack in back in. Will see the doctor this week. I did not fall or do anything that I can recall. I just woke up with it yesterday morning, and it progressively got worse throughout the day.
Well guys I play soccer and this past weekend was a brutal one. During one of the games I stepped on my foot, felt and heard a pop, and then instant pain. I tried to walk it off but that only made it worse. Right now I am icing it and its elevated. The pain is around my 5th metatarsal. It has increased in pain since it happen around 3 days ago. No swelling or anything. A little bruising so I was thinking a fracture. I haven't had a doctor look at it yet because I don't want to spend the money just to have them tell me to ice it and ill be fine. Its bugging me and making it hard to walk and do things. HELP!
My suggestion is to see a doctor so that you will know what not to do to that foot. I'm not big on taking meds so, ask if there is an exercise or specific foot movement that will help heal the foot. Doing the wrong thing is sometimes as bad as doing nothing.
I have the same problem with both my feet on the outsides they hurt and if you squeeze from side to side it is very painful.so I went looking on the internet and I found that it is related to tedonitis, probably from wearing the wrong shoes,I don't wear high heels or anything like that mostly tennis shoes but I guess after reading about tendon problems I'm going to go find a very good pair of tennis shoes particular a pair that is not to narrow since that causes the side of the foot to overhang and irratates the tendon which is probably what started my foot problems in the first place. I did notice that since flip flop season went out I started wearing my tennis shoes and in just a few days of wearing them my pain started up again so it seems to me this is the cause for my feet pain. Try new shoes preferably wide width and a good walking/ running shoe. Good luck
I agree. I picked up some orthotics specifically for plantar faciitis and it's been helping a lot! I also bought some Orthaheel slippers for around the house... and that has been a god send! No more pain!
I still have foot pain on the side of my left foot from time to time. The last time the pain occurred, it lasted longer and resorted to strapping my foot with the wider rubber bands in the area so I could get around better. I don't let it keep me down whether I use the bands or not. I too think that it is a bone out of place and remembered back that I had broken my little toe pretty bad and it was after the mending of the toe that the pain in the left-side of same foot occurred. Sometimes, it only last for minutes but often the pain will cease with long-distance walking and sometimes not. I switch off on different types of shoes and have also noticed that it suddenly got better when walking barefoot indoors and not relying on comfortable slippers. Such is life, eh?
I was thinking of doing the same thing when I saw your comment a while back but thought I'd wait to see if it was a temporary relief as I sometimes seem to get months of relief before the pain rears its ugly head again.
I further add that in ref. to change off walking shoes, etc. when pain is real bad I'll slip into a pair of clogs made by Eastland. The sole is made of firmer materials b/still flexible and the heel is also higher~ gives much relief.
I'm still having some pain when I walk on eneven ground. The specialist has told me that the bone structure looks good but that he thinks it's tendinitis. I have some exercises to do to strengthen the smaller muscles in my foot. It has come a long way.
My husband has said that he smells something in our house that smells like dirty foot? He's smells in our living room and then the bedroom, the bedroom is above the garage and laundry room. The living room is at the top of the stairs.
I thought he was crazy because I do not smell it. But then a...
I'm thinking of replacing an old tub (american standard recessed tub) with a new claw foot tub. The only part I think I may have trouble with is connecting the drain. I don't think the drain line in the floor will be where it needs to be for the new tub. I am on a slab and wonder how they set...
May be a silly question, but how does one drywall a 9 foot ceiling? I'm guessing you hang your 4x8 (or 4x12) sheets horizontally and cut a one foot strip at the top or bottom (does it matter?)... Do they sell 4 1/2 dimension drywall? Thanks!
I think I've possibly fractured my foot but I'm not 100% sure. As I was walking through my living room, my right baby toe got caught on a chair leg and was bent back. I just thought I had stubbed my toe, but I woke the next morning to a very swollen, bruised foot. The swelling and pain persisted...
