Foot pain lateral
Common Questions and Answers about Foot pain lateral
foot
Problem is mild, reason of the problem is not so serious. The pain is the symptom you perceive and it is due to the packing of many muscles and tendons on the foot and also the blood vessels and nerves which supply it. You bear the weight of your whole body on the foot so pain is perceived more with ankle injuries. Take care!
Full knee replacement 3 months back. Now pain located vicinity of lateral collateral ligament and behind knee. Sharp pain behind knee upon straightening/standing. Also pain behind knee hen bending (I.e. Getting in an out of car, drivers side). Flexing foot to put shoe on cause sharpe pain around lateral collateral ligament. Knee slightly swollen an somewhat warm. Any ideas.
The MCL is intact.
LATERAL COMPARTMENT: Allowing for motion artifact, there is fraying to the lateral meniscal posterior horn free edge, and the posterior root is diminutive. Superficial chondral fibrillation is present at the posterior meniscal surface of the tibial plateau without subchondral remodeling. Intact lateral collateral ligament complex and structures of the posterolateral corner.
INTERCONDYLAR NOTCH: The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments are intact.
10 weeks ago I misstepped and rolled foot between two stairs. MRI shows nondisplaced fracture of anterior lateral process of calcaneous, tissue damage and bone contussion.
I'm wearing air cast and doing limited PT and while pain level is decreasing I know that fracture has not healed. (I've had experience with ankle fractures.) While barefoot, it's extremely painful to step on any uneven surface including clothes on the floor. Also, I'm diabetic therefore a slow healer.
Ever since then, I have had a bad, achy pain in the right side of my knee on the joint line, especially when standing and I pick my foot up. The worst pain is when I rotate my toes outward with my knee bent. It occasionally hurts when decelerating, and definitely when going down stairs. I got an MRI today and am waiting the results, but does this sound like a tear? I know it's not large since the knee hasn't locked, but I do feel a small pop on that side of my knee when I straighten it.
No rads of my foot and no MRI or CT. My pain level is ok, but after a long day of working on my feet it can become pretty unbearable. Do I need to seek further help with an orthopedist? Is it possible I ruptured ligaments and/or tendons that have not healed? If so, would this now be a surgical case? Please help!
In 2000, I herniated L4-L5 disc with resulting excruciating pain down my right leg into my foot with residual right lateral foot numbness and calf weakness. I underwent partial disectomy and laminectomy of L4-L5 eight weeks later and within a year I had minimal pain and about 85% of my calf strength back. The next 7 years were unremarkable and I played sports, worked as a nurse, basically returned to my normal life.
A week ago I went to my doctor because I was having pain in my left foot,.lateral foot pain. It's been going on for about 6 weeks. It would dull ache most of the time with sudden bouts of extreme pain in which it felt like a knife was digging in my foot. He did an xray and said it wasn't broken and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. A week later and now I can't bend my left knee back and it's hurting to put pain on my knee.
i am more pain now than i was before the surgery. i can not walk arond a store without the foot and ankle and knee swelling so bad. cant do stairs, bend knee, get on the knee, or evan keep it srait for long periods of time. i want to know if this is normal? i seen my ortho surgeon who did the surgery on april 30 2009 and he now says he does not know whats wrong. i asked for a second opion and he said i could not have one. what should i do?
t be sure which nerve is potentially involved but it could be from the description you provide what is called the superficial peroneal nerve, this supplies sensory innervation to the anterior and part of the lateral calf and the dorsum (top) of the foot. The origin of this nerve does pass sort of behind and lateral (to the outside) to the knee and could theoretically be injured from acupunture, though to my knowledge this is rare, but I am not very familiar with acupunture needles.
2 months ago I had a sudden stabbing pain in my foot, just below the lateral ankle joint. It happened abouit every 15 minutes and felt like someone was jabbing an electrified screwdriver into my foot - excruciating pain lasting less than a minute each time. After 2 cortisone injections, it has happened a few times since, but it still throbs and I'm living on tons of anti-inflammatory meds to keep that sharp pain from recurring. Any ideas on what this could be?
Hi ksgirl22, how are you doing? How is your foot pain? Is it a doctor who had asked you to get MRI foot and have you been followed up? "A ganglion is a swelling that is filled with thick jelly like material. They usually occur on the back of the wrist but they do occur near other joints or near tendons (like in your case where it is in your foot). They usually occur in young adults. It is not known why they occur". For more details refer:

I had a bad fall about a year ago where I landed full force onto my knee which resulted in swelling and bruising that went from my knee down to my foot. I had pain on certain movements from then on. When I would get up sometimes my knee felt like it gave out. Also since then I have not been able to kneel down without pain in the kneecap.
Pain is very specific in location, center of joint on the lateral side and slightly behind from that location. Pain is not constant and started a few years ago as slightly aggravating but now (still not constant) when it comes on it is severe/sharp. No range of motion, swelling or bruising/discoloration issues.
Running forward aggravates it, but running side-step does not (except when I plant hard on my right foot to begin side-stepping left).
It is EXTREMELY intense pain....jabs as if being stabbed by a very sharp spike on the outside ankle bone. The pain is off the charts......25 on a scale of 1-to-10. However, it lasts for maybe five seconds at a time. It comes on....jab, jab,jab....and then immediately stops. If it were a constant pain at that level, I don't think even morphine would help it.
It comes and goes. I might not feel it for weeks and then all of a sudden it starts. It will stop me in mid-step.
