Avatar n tn I hurt my foot about 4 months ago. The pain originated on the top of my foot near the 3rd and 4 th metatarsals. I felt a piercing pain with each step, so I wrapped it and stayed off of it. Now it is healed (well at least no more pain) but the back right side of my knee is in a lot of pain...It hurts when a run or walk and RICEing it doesnt seem to help. Please help!!!!
Avatar n tn I've been using the treadmill daily and have been getting pain on the right side of my foot. It's an aching pain that gets worse with the use of the treadmill; this has been going on for about 2 weeks now. What could be causing this? I also have reduced bone density and Osteoporosis.
Avatar f tn You can try an ice or cool pack to your feet before and after running, foot powder to help, a foot spray for athletes foot. These things have been known to help. New shoes and socks or these methods does often solve the problem for runners. One other note on shoes is that maybe your feet have grown a tiny bit and so your shoes still fit but are tight, all of them. Too tight shoes can cause this. If that doesn't help, I would say that you need to see a doctor at this point.
Avatar m tn It defiantly can not be a shin splint. This pain is just a few inches above the big toe knuckle. It's been a couple weeks with this pain in the foot. Walking barefoot in my house i feel no pain unless i press on the area then i feel a mass amount even with painkillers. If i have my cleats or runners on i feel pain all the time. I think im defiantly to young for falling arches...
15695260 tn?1549593113 Stores that specialize in fitting you specifically in running athletic shoes are very beneficial for finding jus the right pair for your unique foot. Yes, there is a difference as to what is the best shoe for different people based on such things as foot type, running style and terrain that you run on most frequently. Often actually taking a few laps down the side walk in front of the store will help finalize a comfort fit.
Avatar f tn The shin muscles can also be somewhat alleviated by footwear and choice of surface. Runners who strike heavily with the heel should look for shoes which provide ample rear foot cushioning. Such shoes may be referred to as "stability" or "motion control" shoes. The so-called "neutral" shoes for bio-mechanically efficient runners may not have adequate support in the heel, because the runners for whom these shoes are intended do not require it.
Avatar n tn The shooting/stabbing pain is crippling when I put any sort of weight on my foot, and puts me on the floor for 3-5 minutes until I can get up again - the pain is completely gone. The pain runs up along from the bottom of my shin to underneath the kneecap where the shin meets the knee. Any ideas on what this might be caused by?
Avatar m tn For a while I've had this foot problem. My right foot has what looks like a fungus. I've used some creams and they help a little but don't get rid of the problem. I do jog everyday and I'm on my feet 8 hours a day at work. The skin is kind of scalely and hard. After a while it might flake off. I wouldn't say it's itchy though. I try to change my socks daily and the shoes I've had I've been wearing for a while. I have a pair of shoes for work and everything else.
Avatar n tn Hi, I am a runner and i have been having a horrible pain below me knee on the inside part of my shin. I can touch the part of my bone that hurts and locate exactly where it is... its about the size of a quarter but there in not a knot there and the part about an inch around it is a little tender. This has been going on for about a month. Any ideas on the best way to fix it? Is ice or heat better. I havent been able to run and its killing me...
Avatar f tn It is going fine, and while my leg is not 100% I have only minor pain, But....my foot on the leg with the tear gets pins and needles during the run and for a few hours later. Could this be nerve damage, something else? Should I be concerned enough to check with my doctor? Any other thoughts?
Avatar f tn Also keep in mind that you will need two pairs of shoes as your non-drop foot needs a regular size, but the shoe with the brace will need at least ONE full size larger depending on the type of brace. I spent months or searching online for help with shoes for drop foot braces and found nothing, so I wanted to share this info. I hope it helps someone else.
Avatar f tn Invest in a good pair of insoles. Go to a specialty store for runners - their employees are often better trained to determine exactly what you need for your feet, your gait, and your activity level. Mention the swelling to your provider at your next appointment, they may want to keep an eye on it and may be able to give you some tips. Good luck.
Avatar f tn I’d run for 1 minute, then walk, then run again for 2 minutes, then walk again, and so on and so forth until I was able to run one hour (5 miles) nonstop. I’d set goals for the day. For example, I’d say ‘Today, I will run 5 minutes nonstop at least once in a one hour period, then try to run 3 minutes intermittently within that hour for a total of maybe 15 minutes. I’d get so thirsty at first, but then I guess my body got used to running 5 days a week.
Avatar n tn Before I got pregnant, I jogged 4 times a week for 4-6 miles. I want to stay active as possible during my pregnancy. I am only 4 weeks along and I have been walking/light jogging for about 4 miles 4 times a week. I would like to know what kind of running adjustments you had to make as you progressed in pregnancy. And what your doctors have told you.
Avatar n tn In addition, poor forefoot cushion and poor balance support of footwear can excentuate the pain. Try wearing runners whenever possible and avoid heels anytime.
Avatar m tn I suffer with severe pain from knee down to my foot, on the inside of my shin. It is very knotty as you run your finger up both my shins. The pain is 24/7, and i can only stand for short periods. If I crouch down then the pain is worse and causes pins and needles. Do you have any idea of what this may be?
Avatar n tn thank you so much for the advice!
1749417 tn?1331996992 the last few weeks i have had a problem with legs so tight i have to walk on my toes..... like after i sit for awhile and i get up to walk, I have to walk on my tip toes until my calves relaxe. What is causing this? Thanks Mary!
Avatar f tn OMG I just looked down at my feet today and was horrified at how my feet and ankles look. I usually have really skinny feet but now it's puffy like a pillow. I totally freaked. Im 33 wks now I didn't even realize it for so long because I usually wear runners for work an not heels so I didn't even notice my feet were getting bigger. Yuck! Does anyone have any advice on how to unpuff my feet? ...it sounds so vain but I think that's why my feet are feeling tired and strained.
Avatar m tn Hi, My Student Industrial Team and I have come up with a device that relieves knee pain for those with runner's knee and the elderly as well. It utilizes pressure plates on the sides of the knee that help to stabilize and decrease the pain. What's your take?
Avatar f tn I have had nipple pain for several years. It only occurs when/after sweating. I don't think it's related to running cause I'm not physically active. I also have health anxiety and are sweating very much. When it occurs and the pain is severe the nipples turn almost white.. Since I've had it so many years I don't think it's 'life-threatening'. I do not think it is 'runners nipples' as well.. What can it be?
2026060 tn?1328918475 I'm 14 and pretty athletic, I run everyday for school Athletics and just recently started having these pains in my lower stomach to the right side. At first I thought it was PMS but I discovered it wasn't. When we're assigned to run we're not allowed to take a break, so It just hurts even more. Sometimes it hurts so bad I can't breath and often fall down. My coach tells me to just run it off, but that's defiantly not the cure.
Avatar m tn i'm no expert, but i'll offer what i can. first of all, if this is not just discomfort and you're pain is severe enough to make you stop repeatedly, i think it's probably a good idea to discontinue running until you have a better understanding of what is causing the pain. did you say you were running on the beach? running on the sand could encourage awkward movements that may strain muscles or jar the skeletal system.....
Avatar m tn What I am experiencing now is still knee pain - sharp pains in the back and sides of my knee that go down into my foot, extreme stiffness in both legs like I ran a marathon to the point where I can't bend down to pick something up off the floor or can barely get dressed, pain and stiffness in both shoulders to the point where is it difficult to put on a shirt or even scratch my head (there is like a pinching feeling in the top of my shoulder and it feels muscular), and neck pain and stiffne
Avatar f tn I had noticed that too, when im active for more than an hour like just cleaning my house doing laundry or going up and down stairs. It gets weird like hard, I started feeling that at 17 weeks, im now 19wks.
