Foot injuries in soccer

Common Questions and Answers about Foot injuries in soccer

foot

Avatar f tn To minimize the amount of trauma, it is advised to wear soccer shoes with adequate foot heel and arch support and adequate padding especially in the front. I would suggest consulting a sports medicine specialist or an orthopedician for an evaluation to rule out serious injuries and appropriate specific management, if required. Meanwhile you may try resting and immobilizing the foot and keeping it elevated. Use of crepe bandage may be helpful with this.
Avatar m tn I am putting on weight around my tummy- what do I do to get that off. Exercise is good but due to my soccer injuries- leg fractures , knee injuries prevents extensive exercise routines. I am 58 years old a busy work individual.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar f tn I was playing soccer when i went into a tackle my Body got twisted around but my foot and lower leg stayed still. I felt a massive pain through my knee on the inside of my knee and heard and felt a snap. My team mates imediatly came running over because they said they heard a snap sound to and that it looked nasty when i did it. My coach put ice on it and strapped it up but i can only put a tiny amount of weight on it before my knee collapses.
Avatar f tn My daughter was diagnosed with a grade 1 fracture of the growth plate in her left foot after a soccer game injury. There has been nothing found seen on the X-rays or mri scans but based on pain and symptoms was diagnosed as such. She has been in a walking boot off and on for 5-6 weeks. Injury occurred 8 weeks ago. Dr’s have said the injury should be healed and no clear answer as to why pain persists. We have tried non weight bearing with crutches for a week too and pain continues.
Avatar n tn I was walking up the stairs when all of the sudden my left foot couldn't hold my weight and my ankle hurt. The pain went further up the outside of my leg , half way up my knee. I hobbled up the rest of the stairs and then after a little while it went away. Then I took a step and it happened again. Then my ankle swelled... over night the swelling went down. I sprained my ankle really bad about 5 years ago, but not recently. I play soccer about once a week. Help what could this be?
Avatar n tn We made an MRI which showed bone marrow edemas on the neck, lateral processes and on the talus dome, the radiologists wrote that this is most compatible with bone bruises, microtrabecular injuries. I have not been in a cast, just a light splint, but it is very painful, now I don't walk, I am on crutches for already anothe month with no imporvement.
Avatar m tn Recently I noticed discomfort in my thighs while driving a car. Another day I was massaging my thighs and I noticed that it covered in bumps, right under the skin. These are semi-soft, jelly bean-like. Some long, some short. Mostly perpendicular to the leg (horizontally oriented). Both legs are affected and thighs and hamstrings are involved. And these muscles are completely covered in it, not just few lumps here or there.
Avatar n tn You may have an accessory navicular, which is an extra bone growth on the tarsal navicular, the bone in the arch of your foot. This can be accompanied by an abnormal attachment of the posterior tibial tendon (PTT) and can cause the sort of pain you are describing. Occasionally, the accessory navicular is injured and separated from the "true" navicular. If this does not heal correctly, it can also be a chronic source of instep pain.
Avatar m tn I have been playing football for 3 years now and no serious injuries in the past two. A few days ago i started getting a pain on my left foot about 2-3 inches above the big toe. It hurts the most when I walk up stairs or walk in general. When playing football i dont feel any pain what so ever because my mind is focused on the game. I am a Defensive linemen and i am 6'5" 290 lbs if that helps. There is no bruising or swelling. Please help me!
Avatar m tn If there is redness there is probably infection. There is a problem with foot injuries because oral antibiotics generally do not have sufficient strength to deal with infections in the extremities, which often require intravenous medications. So the answer is yes, you definitely require medical attention. If the infection goes into the bones and you develop osteomyelitis you may have to have your foot amputated so this is not an insignificant issue. Go to general quarters.
Avatar f tn Also a soccer player and also so tempted to play through pain. Groin injuries are common in soccer. It could be a sports hernia. It could also be a healing pulled groin muscle. Does the pain increase with exertion?
Avatar m tn I play soccer and was invited for several tryouts semi pro leagues, and then a guy broke my foot. After 6 months out with the broke foot, I came back and started training again. During a normal training routine I felt a POP in my thigh (right quad). I was able to walk off the field, and had no swelling or bruising. However it hurt to bend or raise my leg. After two months I was able to run normally and even sprint and kick the ball.
Avatar f tn That lasted two days, the day it healed he thought it would be fun to jumpoff his friends couch, well his foot got stuck. This resulted in rug burn down the whole side of his face, I joked the school would call cps, because of the injuries. My son is 8 yrs old, well today a week after the fat lip his decided to climb the babysitters tree, while she ran inside, well... He fell out and broke him arm. This little guy is just trying to get hurt and driving me crazy!!
Avatar n tn and I believe that there are nerves in these crushed fleshes, and in fact, according to my experiences, I had major nervous system injuries from the crushed foot, or I also call this the 'zone of crush'.
Avatar f tn Now I tried going back to soccer after my break and I feel a sharp pain in my left groin when I kick a ball or move suddenly. My right has begun to flare up again. I had an MRI in November that said I had a minor Ishiul tuberosity injury but I never had a problem with that. Just recently, in February I got X-rays which showed nothing. However I'm still in pain and I don't know why. I am 14 years old and I am usually stressed out because of my injuries and school. Could that be related?
Avatar n tn Female, 52 years old. Had a "clean" simple fracture of the ankle a year ago in September. The PT said it was the bone that is used for balance and not weight-bearing. The surgeon put in a plate and 4 screws. Completed 2 months of PT and range of motion was back to within 5%. The pain wasn't very bad . I never took any of the pain meds. My question is: Why is it still hurting a year later?
Avatar n tn I was referred to an orthopedic who then ordered a bone scan but did not find anything however he did put my foot in a cast to see if it helped with the pain and swelling. 3 weeks later my foot was still the same and the cast was taken off. He scheduled an mri and the mri showed that my 5th metatarsal was too long. He said that was probably something I was born with. He said he did not know what was wrong with my foot and sent me to see a foot and ankle specialist.
Avatar f tn I injured my toe playing soccer, the opponent and I kicked at the ball at the same time and ended up kicking each other toe to toe. After the game I was expecting a red or purple bruise, but it was blue. Not a bluish purple but more of a cyan color. It hurts like other toe injuries I have had but the coloring is what I find odd. It is now 4 days after and the color has not changed like a normal bruise. Should I be concerned or no?
Avatar f tn I am 29 weeks & my baby has a club foot. I know it can be fixed. My friends little boy had 2 surgery & wore the shoe & brace on his foot day & night for a while, he is 7 months old now & it is 100% fixed now.
Avatar f tn There is currently a serious issue with respect to football players and concussions in the NFL and their symptoms closely mirror what you indicate. Head bounces from a soccer ball can cause skull bone issues especially for younger individuals. For all of you parents reading this post, make sure your children avoid similar manuvers with a soccer ball. The weight of the ball multiplied by the speed of the hit on the head can cause serious injuries for children.
1810335 tn?1318384373 I got hit in the head today with a soccer ball really hard, Ive been dizzy and have had a head ache all day, I couldn't see nor did i know where I was for a few seconds.. Couple of my friends said i could have had a concussion, If so, what should I do? I'm 17 and this is the first time this has happened to me :( If not what could have happened??
Avatar n tn When I pulled my calf at age 51, I used crutches and a cast boot for a couple weeks. It was feeling fairly good in 4 weeks, so I went to play soccer again and promptly pulled it again. When it was bad, I could not push of my toes at all, so the cast boot was the only way I could put weight on it at all. If you can "walk" with a cane, your strain might not be too bad and you might be up and around fairly quickly.
Avatar n tn Last year I tore my ACL, MCL, and meniscus in a soccer game. After about 9 month of physical therapy I'm playing again but there is still a lot of pain. It doesn't hurt so much when I were a brace but after I play soccer or workout I'm very sore the next day on my knee, quad, butt, and back. I usually use ice, heat and Ibuprofen. If anyone has any tips that would be great.
Avatar n tn It arises in one foot or the other -- I do not have simultaneous pain in both appendages at once. The pain is usually in the area of the ball of the foot, but not always. It can last up to 10-15 seconds. Then it dissipates. There is no trauma-related or exercise-related component -- I have no known athletic injuries inducing pain of this kind. No past foot-related issues of any kind. No pains of this sort anywhere else in my body. Ideas?
Avatar m tn im freaking out couple years ago left foot felt like it was sleep but no pain jus a crazy feeling. now i feel weak on my left side but no real weakness. now my feet tingle but when i move them they stop. can anyone help .
