Avatar n tn Hello, I have been reading the various emails submitted by folks with cuboid stess fracture and I certainly do appreciate the sharing of stories. I have been in pain of the left foot for about a month now, but do not remember when I "hurt" it. I finally went to the foot doctor today (7/8/09) and the doctor took Xrays and found nothing. But, he did locate the "pain" and said it may be a cuboid stress fracture.
Avatar m tn About a year ago I had intense pain in my left foot. After seeing a podiatrist and having a bone scan it was determined that I had a stress fracture in my cuboid bone. During that time I was in the Army and had already been diagnosed with plantar fascistis, heel spur, bone spur in my ankle, and possible osteoarthritis in my midfoot. The doctor said that I could just wear a boot for 3 weeks and then it would be fine.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you may have a stress fracture. I would get repeat foot x-rays. Sometimes, stress fractures don't show up until several weeks later. It is very difficult to strain a muscle on the top of the foot to cause so much swelling and the "bump" feeling.
1558461 tn?1295392601 Yes, it can, and here's why: Pain in one joint causes a change in the way you stand and walk, even if it's something subtle you don't notice or are conscious of. This causes increased stress on the next joint up the line, then the next, etc. etc. What seems to be arthritis "spreading" could simply be the muscles and ligaments of those stressed joints yelling in protest. Or causing other bones to rub together differently and thus cause joint inflammation.
Avatar n tn The only way to find out if there is a stress fracture anywhere in the foot, in the metatarsals or any of the cuneiform or cuboid bones is to have an xray. You are doing the right thing in applying cold compresses to the foot. Also rest the foot as much as you can and elevate it.
Avatar m tn Hi, When tested Babinski reflex in my right foot the big toe and other toes bend down but there is no response in my left foot - Toes does not move at all. Is it normal?
Avatar f tn There may or may not be slight mid-foot swelling present as well. Certain points on the dorsum and the sole of the foot would may be tender to tough. Pain can also be elicited while trying to stretch the foot or move it inwards or outwards. Hope this was useful. Take care!
Avatar n tn Hi All, I have the same problem. It started 2 years ago and nothing helps. It may be due to stress as I was studying for finals at the time. However, it continued on even after I finished finals. My lips peel off every other day or so. Is there nothing to cure this problem?
Avatar f tn OK---thanks!
Avatar f tn Hi, I'm 24, a former ballet dancer (stopped when I was 16) with a stress fracture in the second metatarsal of my right foot that has not healed after 3 years of treatment and a possible new stress fracture in my left foot from over compensating. Why is it that my feet aren't healing and keep fracturing? I don't do any strenuous exercising like running or jumping.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had this? It's been about a week since I seriously hurt my foot, and it just gets worse. It's been swelling on and off and I stay off it as much as possible but I have to pee like every 15 min -.- my poor bf has literally been doing everything lol. I want to go to,the dr but idk if they can really do anything for me?
Avatar f tn thanks for your response. btw, that 7 foot 7 is a typo. I'm only 5 foot 7.
Avatar n tn Sometimes tingling in your foot could just be that your foot fell asleep. Walking is good exercise, so keep walking. Take care of your feet--keep them clean, toenails trimmed (but not too short) and free of cuts and blisters--that sort of thing. When you visit the endocronologist discuss your fears and concerns--write them down to remember-keep a journal or something like that, so when you visit the doctor you don't forget.
Avatar n tn As I started training I have noticed a little foot pain on the bottom of foot which was just caused a little soreness however as I completed my longest run of 12 miles on Saturday and the next day I couldn't put pressure on my foot without it hurting nor could I manage to walk for a standard period of time. Today is Wednesday and I still feel a little discomfort in walking but not nearly as severe as Sundays pain.
1806721 tn?1554333407 What kind of heart disease could explain my abnormal BP response to stress? Will it likely to prevent me from receiving further surgical treatments should I need liver or lung resection? Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
Avatar f tn With so much going on lately, I seem to be really stressed out, the littlest things are getting to me and I can't seem to relax. What do you guys do to relax and stay as stress free as possible?
Avatar f tn A bone spur forms as the body tries to repair itself by building extra bone. It generally forms in response to pressure, rubbing, or stress that continues over a long period of time. Bone spur is just extra bone. It’s usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear or pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, or nerves.
Avatar f tn however a yr ago i went to get a pedicure and next day noticed i was getting a ringworm on my foot, i was able to get rid of it with topical ointments but there was some more little ones still popping up on my skin. I went to the doctors and got grifulvin pills, 10 days into taking them i had peripheral neuropathy symptoms went to the doctors and i was told to stop taking them so i stopped after taking them for 14 days.
Avatar f tn changes in temperature and psychological stress are known to trigger these episodes. So, the best way to prevent attacks is to identify those substances which he is allergic to and avoid them. You can control the symptoms with prescription strength mild cortisone creams. Consult a dermatologist. Also, an allergy specialist can help to identify the allergens. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Does anyone happen to know if those with MS are more susceptible to stress fractures?
Avatar m tn On 7th day I felt mild pain when urinate and on 14th day had burning rashes on my foot with heavy leg pain. Do you think I need to get tested ? Please answer me to get some relief .
Avatar f tn I am a 36yo female. My left foot started throbbing during the night about 2 weeks ago. The next morning it felt much better but has continued to be sore on and off since. I started examining my foot and noticed that there is a small hard kknot on the bone of my cuboid. This knot does not hurt. Could this be the source of my pain? My foot actually hurts more toward the outside and where the heel starts. The heel itself is not really painful.
