Common Questions and Answers about Foot bones arthritis
foot
My foot doctor said I have arthritis in my ankles . last year I broke one of my ankles before that they were always hurting because I was always spraining them due to having very flat feet. The ankle that I did not break is worst than the one that was broken. The pain is very bad when I walk up stairs my doctor said the bones are rubbing together. I take 800 ml Ibuprophen it doesnt help at all. what else can I try that may be of help?
Tendonitis is another possibility. Foot infection, gout, rheumatoid arthritis are the other possibilities. It can also be ligament injury. You may need a MRI of the foot and ankle. Meanwhile, rest your feet by keeping them elevated on a cushion or stool. Apply ice pack. Take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory such as Tylenol, Aleve or Mobic. Hope this helps. Take care!

So when I went to the podiatrist recently, I asked him about it and he said it was arthritis. Arthritis? When I asked him what is arthritis (he offered no help for it, by the way), he practically yelled at me (first time I went to him) and loudly said, "Inflammation!" And then he proceeded to cut my toenails. Anyway, I stopped him from continuing working on me, and said I don't want him to continue. He said why. And I said because I don't like his attitude.
I just did a little searching and I'm thinking I have Extensor Tenosynovitis on my left foot. Its painful when I walk and I feel the pain on the top of my left foot and it also hurt whenever I lift my front foot up and it also hurts when I go down the stairs. Just a little medical background: I'm 35 years old, male, 5'10, 240 lbs, and I get gout attacks from time to time (1-3 times a year). This pain started a year ago after I had gout attack on my left foot.
The foot and ankle are made up of many small bones. In between these bones, like any other joint like your knee or hip, there are small pads of cartilage that cushion the space between them.
Over time, these pads can wear away (osteoarthritis), and when the bones grind together it causes pain. I'm not saying this is what's happening, but it's one possible cause.
For about a week now I've had my left top part of my foot has become swollen and painful to the touch. it is also very painful when i begin to walk and put weight onto the ball of my foot . As of yet i havent been to my doctor as i thought the swelling and pain may go but was wondering whether it was something fairly serious that definitley needed checking out. can you help?
My bones in both forearms hurt, it has been on and off for a few weeks, my ankles also hurt when i get up in the morning and if i sit down during the day. i am 37 years old and feel sleepy most of the day.
Any ideas what is causing this?
Last year I got septic arthritis in my left knee. Had 10 bouts of surgery on my knee to washout the knee. I still get alot of pain in my knee.
I had had a recent MRI which no one can explain to me satisfactorely. Hope you can be of help.
The MRI states:
"Severe degeneration of the medial and lateral menisci noted with fraying of the articular surface and inner free edge of the menisci. No ligament injury is seen.
It started to hurt every time I would walk long distances and would feel like I had my socks bunched up under my toes. It graduated to constant ball of foot pain with numbness in the ball of foot and toes with tenderness between the metatarsal bones on both feet. Has anyone ever had this or currently has the same symptoms? I have been to my GP who thinks it is a foot issue. I have an appointment with an Orthopedic, but could not get an appointment until April.
Since there is swelling on one side this could be due to ligament tear or bony spur. Impingement of the ankle joint between the bones of ankle and foot is another possibility. Osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis are the other possibilities. Bursitis can give a sudden onset pain. Dislocation or rupture of a tendon can also cause shooting pain.
You probably have a bone spur (Arthritis) pressing on one of the nerves that supply and travel through the hip and down the leg.
Foot nodules could be a symptom of RA, which a lot of the time
(the foot in general)is overlooked by most rheumatologists.
The areas where they develop, are linked to high pressure and stress on
joints, so it could be a result of the body attempting to alleviate this.
Are these nodules painful? Are they hard?
It seems that, these are usually dormant for many years and all of sudden they simply come out w/o any known reason (idiopathic).
Another possibility is plantar fibromas.
Mine do that! Even if I move my foot my hips crack and pop. It's normal. Mine started doing it at 22 weeks.
is a deformity that usually occurs at the head of the one of the five long bones or just due to deficiency of vitamins.So you can take some multivitamins for few days and see if it works. Consult to your physician for further examination. Hope it helps.Regards.
This sounds like Sciatica to me. I have that problem, and have had that problem since I was a teenager.
I did have an x--ray and I went to the chiropractor. Everyone seems to think I pulled a muscle. However, arthritis has come up before. I had pain in my foot and it was due to arthritis. What can be done for arthritis? I am overweight and I know that does not help. I diet but it seems I never lose weight. My doctor gave me diet pills but I was afraid that was what caused the back pain.
