15695260 tn?1549593113 The real story of the first marathon runner, Pheidippides, is much more complicated than he ran 25 miles and then died... From Dean Karnazes's Runner's World article on Pheidippides (https://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a20836761/the-real-pheidippides-story/): "The story that everyone is familiar with is that of Pheidippides running from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce Greek victory, a distance of about 25 miles.
Avatar f tn It will allow you to walk, run hike as far as you want without any risk of rubbing injuries due to the brace. You can see it in action on Youtube... Website: www.turbomedorthotics.com Video: http://youtu.be/KziRDfRrfGc I can assure you that the comfort of our new external brace have nothing in common with any conventional internal brace. Hope it will help everybody afflicted by drop foot to recover their full level of activity. Visit us and feel free to leave us comments.
Avatar n tn Crush injuries of the foot are serious and can be difficult to manage. These complex injuries often involve soft tissue and osseous structures. Compartment syndrome is a serious complication that can occur with these types of injuries. But in your husband's case i think the treatment was given at the appropriate time to prevent serious complications. After surgery does he experience any numbness, pain and heaviness in the limb?
Avatar m tn Running forward aggravates it, but running side-step does not (except when I plant hard on my right foot to begin side-stepping left). Squatting/standing from seated position can cause pain. Pain flairs sometimes just when I get out of bed. 43 yr - Male - played competitive level soccer for over 30 years. Recently tennis. No previous - serious knee injuries. Hoping to get insights from this community before paying to see an Ortho. Any sugestions?
Avatar n tn Hello and welcome to the forum. Thanks so much for your question. The doctor you've seen is affiliated with the Army? How is this impacting your ability to serve? It does sound uncomfortable. I think a second opinion would be important to continue exploring what is happening. Your feet are newly flat? Different things can cause feet to go flat. Have you seen a podiatrist specifically? That's probably the best thing to do. There are different TYPES of flat feet as well.
3851566 tn?1348338001 After I stubbed it I got really hot for a few minutes and light headed. That made me think I probably broke something in my foot. It is very painful to try to walk on it, but other than that it doesn't bother me that much its not in constant pain. I don't know if I should have it looked at by a doctor or do you think it should be fine after it has time to heal?
155639 tn?1251738603 The one issue that I am really concerned about is the creaking feeling I will feel when moving my foot. This feeling has improved but is still there. I understand why it is there, this is due to swelling on the tendon and the swollen tendon moving under the sheath. My question is this, how long does it typically take for this feeling to subside? I am not in any pain when I walk. I am able to go up and down stairs without issue. Am I safe to start running again, low miles?
Avatar n tn I would recommend you going to the ER sooner rather than later. I'm suprised the paramedic didn't tell you to do this? That's a LOT of force to have a car go over your foot and will normally do extensive damage to a persons foot. Better to be safe than sorry in my opinion and go and get checked out. Let us know what you decide. I hope you are ok and the pain subsides soon.
Avatar n tn Foot pain can be caused by increased pressure on the metatarsal heads. This can be due to constricting foot wear or high heel shoes. Other conditions that can cause foot pain include ligament injuries and joint irritation. These problems can also be relieved with more accommodating footwear. Treatment of foot pain often consists of anti-inflammatory medications, footwear modifications, and inserts for your shoes. Metatarsal pads help to take pressure off the ball of the foot.
Avatar m tn I am 34 year old female with chronic bilateral ankle pain. The pain in my right foot is terrible..my ankle aches all the time, my left foot is bearable. I can't wear shoes other than sneakers, and even wearing sneakers my foot aches. I was diagnosed with sinus tarsi syndrome. Originally in May 2015, I had grade 2 ankle sprain of ATFL ligament and bone edema in calcaneus...this was after completing exercise program T25 and running.
Avatar m tn I am putting on weight around my tummy- what do I do to get that off. Exercise is good but due to my soccer injuries- leg fractures , knee injuries prevents extensive exercise routines. I am 58 years old a busy work individual.
338416 tn?1420045702 s quite foot drop yet, but I certainly have to *think* about lifting my foot up. They make a foot brace that would hold my foot up, but it's plastic and clunky. I don't think I would have started running again if it wasn't for the weight. I get so frustrated, because I'm really trying to restrict my calories, and it doesn't do a bit of good. Working out on the trainer was exercise, but it just wasn't enough. I'm starting to wonder if I have a thyroid problem.
Avatar f tn You need an x-ray. I fractured a metatarsal bone (upper top of foot) while in the military and it took a year to heal, and I still have pain decades later. Generally there is a "window of opportunity" to immobilize such a fracture, and if missed the bone won't heal without surgery.
Avatar m tn You might want to look at your shoes and make sure they are not getting to worn out to support what your doing or not to tight in that area, check with a running store they can fit your foot to shoe pefectly, Also it could be a shin splint i use to get those on the treadmill if i did not put it at an incline and that can pull on the muscle that goes along the top of the foot its painful, I worked with trainers who told me to use the incline not to get chine splints, good luck these things hav
Avatar m tn And I have to say that even after this long I can still feel it, especially while I am running. During sport I have to wear a brace constantly and it is still not 100%. Have you been to doctor? They will tell you if you have torn ligaments.
Avatar n tn As there is very little soft tissue to protect the top of the foot, bone injuries are common. The second, third and fourth Metatarsals are the most commonly injured bones due to something falling on your foot. Without any fracture you would need physiotherapy and anti inflammatory medications to decrease the pain and inflammation. I would also suggest you to wear proper footwear. Take care!
Avatar m tn okay, well i was running in my house to get the phone, when my hand and foot hit the trimming on the walls and door. My foot seems fine the skin was ripped off but im worried bout my hand. I pretty much punched the trim or whatever its called with my pinky and ring finger, no bruising, no blood or anything but i have a pain between my knuckles and wrist it feels as if its something to do with my nerve?
Avatar f tn She has been hospitalised twice with septicemia and the drug combinations and anti fungal drugs are too numerous too mention A cut caused by climbing led to osteomyelitlis of her middle finger on her right hand, eventually leading to amputation. She is currently hospitalised with a chronic foot infection, having severed her flexor (?) tendon a year ago. Two repair attempts failed and she has had ongoing infections in that foot for the last 9 months.
Avatar f tn While running to 1st base last night, the short stop threw the ball to first where the softball hit me about 3-4 inches above my ankle bone...on the inside of my leg. The injured area swelled immediately. I stayed in the game and next hit I ran to 3rd base where the injured area had swollen about 4X as large as the initial impact. I hobbled out of game but was able to put weight on my foot and was able to move my ankle in all directions without direct pain.
