Avatar n tn What could be the problem with the ball of my foot? I workout doing aerobics twice a week. What can I do for the pain?
Avatar f tn You might need custom orthodics made for your shoes along with calf steartching and intense foot massage. try standing on a golf ball, move around under your foot to release foot muscles. Hurts at first, feels better after.
Avatar f tn I have an intense pain on the ball of one foot. It also happened about 6 years ago and I went to a podiatrist who recommended an orthodic insert and I also did stretches for the achilles tendon. It helped. The pain is back and none of the two remedies are helping now. What should I do? It hurts all the time. I do quite a bit of walking at my job.
459853 tn?1283140514 When I flex my food you can see the ligament protruding from my foot. It runs from the ball of the foot all the way to my heel. I have found several exercises that seem to be helping but they are really painful! Just walking is painful.....
Avatar n tn After sitting or lying down, even driving a car for a period of time, my feel get extremely painful, especially in the area between the ball of the foot and the heel. the heel never gets sore. It takes up to 2 hours of walking about before the pain subsides, but it returns as soon as I sit again. The pain almist feels as if someone has taken a knife and shredded the bottom of my feet. It is the same in both feet.
1308443 tn?1302693321 I tried every shoe in my closet with and without orthotics. Nothing is helping and now the ball of my foot and heel hurt too. The pain has almost formed a line from the ball to my heel. Is this normal for a strained plantar fascia?
Avatar f tn My left heel area of my foot is always so tender even when I'm not standing on it. It just aches like deep inside. At times sharp pains. I' haven't stepped on anything.
Avatar m tn When walking on the beach, my footprint is really just heel, ball, and toes. when standing, a piece of paper can be passed ceompletely under my foot at the arch.
Avatar n tn When I run on the ellipitical, within 20 minutes my foot starts tingling at the ball and raidating towards my toes? I have bought running shoes and loosened my laces. I don't know what the problem is, does anyone else have a clue? Thanks.
Avatar m tn I have pain in multiple areas of the foot. When one area heals almost immedietly another area swells. This make the time I'm unable to walk very long. The pain is on the top of foot, ball of foot, and the area just beneath the front of the ankle, and in both feet. There is pain between attacks. When walking pain will show up then after awhile disappear. There is pain in the ball of foot when I put weight on them or just push them against the wall when lying.
Avatar f tn I see people talk about foot pain, can you describe it for me, I have been having issues since 2007, Symptoms just started up again, The last time I have had any symptoms was in march. Except for some occations where I have had some blind spots in my eyes, but my feetand legs are a problem, the bottoms are killing me and it goes up the back of my legs.
Avatar f tn The pain I am having is not in the heel of my foot. It is in the ball of my foot. It started on the left. I have been struggling for 7 months. I have symptoms of aching, sharp pains (like a nail in my shoe) and nerve like pulses (a zippy feeling upon each step). I have been at home resting for the past two weeks as I am also 4 1/2 months pregnant. Now all of a sudden the right foot is experiencing the same symptoms.
Avatar f tn Hey all! Hope everyone is doing well. For about 24 hours I've had extreme pain in the heel of my right foot. I haven't really done anything different in my daily routine (no long walking/standing). I was making my way to my bedroom so I could get some sleep and I noticed the pain last night. It's been killing me, especially when I put pressure on it. My question is could this be MS related? Or is it something I shouldn't worry about (unless it continues).
Avatar m tn In the last 2-3 years have acquired severe pain in ankle and foot! I get a burning pain in center of foot and at the ball behind big toe it stays sore to the touch.. .. Any recommendations!???
Avatar m tn Also, take a tennis ball and have her roll her heel and area that hurts on the ball. It kind of hurts and feels good at the same time. Ibuprofen is also supposed to be taken. Ice it. Try something like arnica (bought over the counter, holistic medicine that comes in a cream) and salon pas which are menthol stick ons that I've come to love. Lastly, have her take her foot and push the heel into something hard like a stair step to kind of 'break up' the area.
Avatar f tn Since this topic is a continuation of the topic at http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/nerve-pain-ankle/show/199167, I want to be sure we keep this topic on the exact same pain area of the foot. The pain we are talking about is this: A sharp pain on the outside of the foot just below the ankle bone, on either the left side of the left foot or the right side of the right foot.
Avatar n tn Since the injury, which occurred while hiking and hopping off a rock, my heel has been numb and tingling and I have a very sore spot on the ball of my foot. The foot is very still in the morning and the numbness and tender spot is constant. I shared this with my orthopoedic surgeon several times and he kept saying it would go away. It is not improving and my foot is more stiff and sore in the morning than it has been. What do I do next?
Avatar f tn I am now having issues with part of the bottom of my foot, including the ball of my foot and all my toes except the last three. When I move my foot, it feels like it has been asleep with the tingling, like pins and needles, and I cant go without shoes on that foot, I cant wear sandals, and when I do try to go without shoes on, the heal of my foot feels like the bone is going thru my foot. When I relax of an evening, my foot has like muscle spasms.
Avatar m tn Hi all! For the last 3-4 days both of my feet have been in discomfort. It started as a small ache in my mid toes, then kind of gradual pain which spread to my ball and now it's gone to the heel and ankles. I'm not sure if it's related but last month I hurt my mid/upper back (pain around shoulder blade with niggly spots around) through over exercising in the gym. I haven't done any high impact running or anything, and shoes are proper fit.
Avatar m tn Many months ago I started have problems with my right leg. I had a really bad itch almost like bud bites on my outer right shin near my ankle. I would itch these and then after two weeks it all went away. I thought it might be a bird might problem, but no longer got these itchy bite bumps (looked similar to flea bites, but they were not flea bites). After a while I started to get a really bad callus on the ball of my right foot under just the middle toe.
1415174 tn?1453243103 They usually tend to be found in areas of pressure such as the heel and ball of the foot. Plantar warts grow into the deeper layers of skin because of the pressure they receive because of their location. Warts may go away on their own but if it is causing severe pain then treatment may be needed to lessen symptoms. Keep your feet dry. Plantar fibromas are usually seen arising from the plantar fascia. When they become very large or develop pain it may need treatment.
Avatar n tn Bend your left knee slightly, tighten your abdominal muscles and gaze forward. Push through your left heel and lift onto the ball of your left foot. Lift as high as possible, then lower your left heel to the floor. Shift your weight onto your left heel and repeat. Complete 12 to 15 repetitions, stopping when your calves fatigue. Before doing anything get The OK from your doctor.
Avatar f tn Possible causes of the symptoms that may need to be considered include fractures, ligament/ tendon injuries, infections, inflammations like fasciitis etc, spur formation, heel fat pad syndrome, arch issues etc. It is advised to consult an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Meanwhile it is advised to rest the foot and avoid weight bearing. You could also use some OTC NSAIDS for pain relief. Hope this helps. Take care!
Avatar n tn I would suggest that you do stretching exercises to lengthen the tendon gradually. Pull up on your foot (ball of foot and toes) slowly toward your shin. Hold it and then release. Do this several times until you feel the stretch. It should gradually get it back to "normal". There are other tendons and ligaments in your foot that may have been affected as well. Try to do the stretching when the foot is warm, like in a warm bath.
