foot pain in heel

It stayed that way about three months and then progressed to having numbness, variable pain (tingling, burning, cold,heel pain, pain on the top, pain on the bottom). The pain issue seems to move occasionally, but ankle pain is constant. The tingling and numbness has moved up the back of my calves though I am not having that symptom at this time. For about two days the symptoms decreased, but now it is back and is more painful tonight.

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.

7 mONTHS AGO I went to a podiatrist for tingling and pain in the bootm of left foot. He gave me Orthetics to wear, and exercises to do after Xray showed that I had a very inflamed tendon on bottom of foot. I also have very high arches. Now, I have began to feel some pulling and pain on right foot. Could this be from wearing the orthetics. In March he said I may need to have the presciption orthectics. I may have pulled something in the bottom of my foot.

I got out of my car and went over on the side of my foot and since then i have not been able to put my heel down on the ground, if i do a get a sharp pain all the way up my leg. I have had problems before when i was younger, i have too many bones / movement in my foot so that doesn t help plus used to be a dancer and week acheiles tendon excuse the spelling Can anyone advise me on what to do? Another problem is i am on my feet most of the day with my job.

My wife noticed the bone structure where my foot and ankle meet is larger than my left foot. Podiatrist feels ankle pain is attributed to compensation from the pain of the Plantar Fasciitis. I wear prescribed orthotics. The pain in the ankle area is horrendous when I'm working. With burning and sharp pain waves. I've tried forcibly walking with my foot straight, and my foot and leg feel as though I'm trying walk pigeon toed and the pain increases.

for past few days i am feeling a pain in the back of the heel. Its not on the heel but back of the foot a little up. Its not a pain as if its hurt, its a needle kind of pain which is quite on and off. few days i got it and then it was gone and i have got it again. I am not sure why is that as i am sure i haven't hurt myself. about 4 days a week after office i do go to play tennis (learning though) but around 1 to 1.5 hrs i do play. can it be due to that?

hi i fell hard on my heel last night pain is quite severe when i put pressure on it(walking on my tip toes) i don't think theres any break but should i have a doctor look at it?

I have a pain in my heel that only happens if I bend over with my knees straight. I also feel it if I flex my foot up. It feels like somthing is being torn and that I am being stabbed with something sharp. It doesn't hurt if I bend my knee before I bend over.

The past month I've been experiencing minor to extreme heel pain in my feet. I was wondering if anyone has a good shoe insert they use for their heels? Preferably one that can be reused in different shoes. I've tried a few different brands, but no luck. My doc @ my last appt said it's because you walk differently when you're pregnant, but that seems like an easy/lazy answer to me lol! I'm only 19 weeks, I can't imagine what it'll be like when I'm further along!

Over the past few weeks I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my left heel. I have back issues due to which I've had to spend a lot of time on my feet and that's probably triggered something. Are there special shoes I can wear to prevent further foot fatigue or use special inserts to make it better? Thanks for your help!

I have plantar fasciitis and it came on all of a sudden in pretty much the same area you described, left side of heel of right foot. It is now on my left heel, in right side of heel. Have you been on your feet more recently? Increased your exercise? Mine came on after increasing exercise. Currently, I am stretching it at least once per day, doing some strengthening exercises 2-3 times per week. I also apply ice 1 time per day for about 15 minutes when I need to.

Plantar fasciitis, arthritis of small joints, diabetic neuropathy, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, over weight, deep vein thrombosis, wrong foot wear, gout, etc are a few causes of sore feet with heel pain. A high ESR by itself is not diagnostic. You need other tests too. Please consult a rheumatologist and an orthopedic specialist. Take care!

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.

My heel has a constant aching in it that causes pain to radiate into my ankles, calf, and knee. It is awful!

Can cronic Arthritis in a big toe, cause the metatarsal and heel pain to worsen?

I have plantars fasciitis and for me the pain is at night when I sleep it wakes me up. In the morning or when I walk it is ok, or somewhat painful. The pain is on the bottom of my foot at the heel just near the arch in the daytime and at night at the back of the heel when I am laying on my back. I bought some walking shoes for plantars fasciitis and they have running shoes at orthofeet.com. You need to stretch your achilles tendon basically too.

I really wonder if anyone ever diagnosed you, or if the pain resolved on its own! I've had this for over 2 months in my left heel, a sharp pain in the inner heel when I bend at the waist if my left leg is straight. Also sometimes just straightening my legs in front of me while sitting. I've seen a chiropractor, 2 physiatrists, and talked to a surgeon and signs are pointing toward a pinched L3 nerve (lumbar issue), but it doesn't present "classically.

I have major swelling and pain (it's like a huge bruise) in right foot in the back of heel; very low and to the outside. Not near the Achilles Tendon. I am developing the same thing in the left foot (same location). Right "bruise" is so swollen the skin split and it weeps a clear fluid. Regular physician was stumped. Visited a podiatrist who had no idea what was wrong. Xrays taken, no heel spur, no foreign object, nothing. Have been surfing looking for an answer.

It only hurts when I press on that part of my foot or when I am walking. The walking pain happens when I lift up my heel taking a step. The pain radiates from the top of the arch of my foot to the heel. The pain was minimal at the beginning of the day, then got worse as the day went on. I taped my foot after a few days of this and am using a walker and crutches I already had to keep weight off of it as much as possible.

So, work out friends, I have a problem. One heel has a lot of pain. It's been ongoing since early July. I had gone to my son's boy scout camp and wore tennis shoes. I think I walked about 10 miles through gravel, wood trails, up and down hills and steps. My little piggies were swollen and tired after that! But worse, my left heel hurt like crazy. And . . .it still hurts. I've had plantar faciaitis before.

my right foot between top of heel and bottom of arch has been hurting so badly for about 3 months. any ideas? read in a reflexology book could be bladder issues? also heard could be plantar fasciitis?

I have two question to ask 1. I was told by my mother that I have a thorn in my foot like she does and it is genetics, I was hoping maybe is there a treatment? 2. In my left foot, my Achilles tendon has pain. Its not swollen, I dont think, but its painful. For instance I cannot touch my toes without feeling pain shoot up my leg from my tendon, thats even with stretching, and I cannot bend my foot forward completely and my ankle seems to crack a lot.

For the last week I have noticed this pain in my left heel. It started after mowing the lawn and twisting my foot and almost falling over, mower and all, when my foot tell into a rut in the grass. The next day it was quite painful, enough to wake me from a dead sleep. When at rest it feels like I'm stepping on a small metal ball dead center in the middle of my heel. There is also some pain on the inside of my foot between the ankle and Achilles tendon.

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).

i have an unexplained pain in the arch part of both my soles, closer to my heel. its mostly painful when i walk after being seated for sometime. i m an usual runner, jogger and walker . my shoes have not changed using a proper nike pair , infact i got air cushions fit in them , to reduce the pain, but its not helping. been some 2 months since this pain started. its always there.

My foot actually hurts more toward the outside and where the heel starts. The heel itself is not really painful. Also, my foot feels like it is going to get a cramp in more now. Is the knot any cause for concern? Thanks for your advice.
