foot

973741 tn?1342342773 Tempo runs on the track, springs on the track, running on trails and side walks, running through fields, running through fields bare foot, hills and lots of core conditioning. He wasn't very big on stretching. Their cool down was a 2 mile run. His coach was a track/field and cross country runner at Auburn. Not shabby. And he is young and has produced in his 5 years at the school a pretty successful CC team. We buy running shoes on a regular basis so he always has good shoes.
Avatar m tn The left foot is healing on its own but the right is still uncomfortable. especially bothersome while and after running. He went to seen 3 surgeons and everyone suggested different remedies to get rid off. As he used to run for jogging so he asked surgeon to shoes for plantar fasciitis and heel spurs as he doesn't want to stop running. Surgeon suggest him to fins that shoes with minimum padding in the heel cup help out. Do you guys have any suggestion ?
Avatar n tn Yesterday, I saw a foot and ankle surgeon about pain in my left big toe. Films showed a sesamoid fracture, non-articular bone spur outside the joint, and plenty of arthritis. Recommendation was surgery to remove bone fragment and shave off spur when pain was troublesome enough (which it is today). I am a martial arts instructor, which requires me to work barefoot, with intermittent running and jumping, approximately 4 hours per day six days a week.
Avatar m tn Sorry) it is where the fachia tension running under my foot was tearing from the bone. It also caused bone spurrs. I had to have multiple cortisone shots and it got to where they were so frequent the pain from the shots was as bad as the injury. My doctor told me don't ever ever go barefoot and always wear New Balance 1220 series. They are expensive and don't look great with everything but they really help.
Avatar n tn get a rash kind of like athletes foot in between my pinky toe does not spread comes in the summer and i have used differant foot creams but it just continues to stay itchy skin peels goes away in winter what is it
Avatar f tn re walking any distance at all you want stability of some kind. As I say, barefoot is more stable, as your foot is made for walking. Warming up first might help. Potassium is only one electrolyte -- magnesium problems can cause cramping as well. What I would say is, if you're 18, is this truly the only exercise you get? I'm in my sixties and I walk a couple of hours at a brisk pace. Exercise needs to be enough to do something.
15695260 tn?1549593113 A lot of research shows that wearing running shoes is a bad idea to start with, because the arch supports and cushioning over time weakens the muscles of the foot. Running barefoot or in sandal-like shoes, as humans did for most of our history, preserves the natural arch and strengthens the muscles. But, we don't run on soft soil anymore, we run largely on paved surfaces, and running barefoot on these or in so-called minimalist shoes will lead to mashed feet and plantar fasciitis.
Avatar f tn when I walk barefooted ir with soft shoes, my right foot toes want to curl under and trip me or make me stumble, hard heavy shoes, like danscoes will help but then my right foot wants to turn in when I walk.........another MS symptom? am still in lymboland but as I don't fit neatly into the "check here" boxes, they like to ignore me and hope I will get discouraged and go away! any one have a similar s/s??
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...
Avatar f tn Have anyone else foot grew a bigger size since they been pregnant??? I went from a 7.5 to 9 !
Avatar f tn I would use caution when walking barefoot, there can be parasites and other risks in dirt. At least make sure you have no cuts on your feet and that you wash when you are done. I've never heard of "earthing" before this post, but spent about 5 minutes googling it and have come to understand that it's supporters believe that electrons from the ground will act against free radicals in the body to achieve better health.
Avatar n tn I reckon everything is quite normal in pregnancy.. I had footpain last week @6weeks it felt like brusing under the balls of my feet and heels felt like they were gonna crack! I bought new runners and feel much better... also enjoyin being barefoot in the house which is new to me!
172023 tn?1334672284 I have good shoes, fitted professionally and have had them observe my gait and foot strike, that seems fine. I think I just flat overdid it. I would like to continue short walks, but if it would be better to totally not do it for a week, I would. Thanks for any advice.
Avatar m tn that the skin was cracking (as if the bare foot had been dragged across a rough surface...which was not the case). I bought moisturizer so as to soften the skin, yet the rough skin exterior persisted. Then came the itching & burning sensation (feet). I checked online & found out I had Athlete's Foot (something I nerver had before & I am baffled as to how I got it in the first place...I read a list as to how it can be gotten, yet none of the scenarios applied to me).
Avatar m tn After working out I went to shower and forgot my sandals as I was running late that morning. Anyway I walked barefoot in the locker room and shower that morning. I was wondering. If someone had bleed or had body fluids on the floor or the shower floor and I stepped in it with athletes foot (like I said the only part that had a break in the second skin layer was the size of a pen point that had scabbed over) would this be a risk for HIV?
Avatar f tn My step-dad is 34, he has had recurrent water blisters on his foot for the past 24 years. He gets them and he said they don't hurt, they itch like crazy.. He pops the blister and in a couple days it goes away, but then it comes back in different spots.. I was wondering if anyone knew what causes it? It only occurs on the bottom of both of his feet.. Not on the top & he always wears socks or boots. never barefoot or flip flops.
Avatar f tn Are your toes curling when you are off of them? Have you ever had any foot or toe conditions? While this could be arthritis, it could also be a number of other things. What have you tried to relieve the pain? Does it wake you up?
463595 tn?1333997222 Alex is 13mos now and is in a 4.5 so I chose 4 on your poll, but sometimes he has to wear a 5 because his foot is so "Fred Flinstoney" lol that I can't get them into a 4... i've been putting him in Puma's and Converse bc those are the only shoes wide enough without having to buy ugly ones... lol ;) sounds like your boy is going to be tall!
Avatar f tn For example, most running shoes these days are made out of foam, which is like being made out of nothing. The natural way to walk is barefoot or in sandals or something else that is like being barefoot, but we don't do that anymore and that causes the muscles in our feet to atrophy. Given the wide range of symptoms, you do need to see a professional to help you, and during covid, it's going to be hard to get the treatment you really need, but do try.
Avatar f tn Now the pain in the ball of my foot is so bad I cannot walk barefoot. Had orthotics made still bad. How does it go from no pain to excessive pain All of a sudden ?
Avatar m tn Hi im 17 years old and i went to the beach and climbed up on some rocks barefoot and got scraped /scratched on the bottom of my foot. The scratch on the bottom of my foot was not visibly bleeding but it might have been slightly bleeding and washed off by beach water. The scratch definitely showed signs of skin peeled but blood was not visible to my eye(however it may have bled slightly because i felt a sense of pain on the bottom of my foot).
Avatar f tn s not highly contagious- but you are more likely to pick it up on your foot walking around barefoot (in a place like a locker room), then you are on your hands from giving a foot massage. I don't think you have much to worry about.
Avatar m tn The other day I was jogging on the sidewalk, and ran past a long trail of large blood droplets. It was splattered all over the place, so while I avoided stepping on the biggest of the drops, I'm sure I stepped on some of them. I bent over and looked down (head about a foot away from blood) to verify that it was, in fact, blood. I'm wondering, what are the risks of contracting an STD or hepatitis due to this? It was drizzling outside, and I was sweating alot.
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 com/K4IGvlj I do not know if this existed before, but recently I have noticed 3 spots on my foot (one located in the middle, 2/3 down from the top. and two on its left and right). I know this is not much information, but I am wondering if this looks anything similar to syphilis rash, or is this some other foot dermatology condition? I haven't had anything in my genitals as far as I can remember and these things only exist here and not in my other hands or foot.
Avatar m tn s the public toilet in an office; Normally, I wear shoes, but that day my foot injures--wound from my nail cuts my finger. The wound doesn't pass for a long time; just 1.30hr-2hr. So I walk and use the toilet with my foot in socks -- no shoes at all. The problem is I see many drops of water on the floor; I'm worried it may be the drop of blood, or water contained blood (of the two people who are hiv positive because they use the same toilet as I use.
567383 tn?1413084443 My right foot always be itchy, but now I have red itchy dots on the bottom of my foot. Should I be worried? What do I do help?
