foot

Avatar f tn Due to a fall I have an increased pain in the top of my foot. Feels like a bump there. My dtr had xray taken because foot swelled up quite a bit. Xray only showed I have a tiny plantar spur. Have problems with lack of support for my feet as well, due to being born with crooked feet, for which I wore braces. Wear supports in all shoes. Dtr told me to rest foot and keep pillow under it. Did this for a few hours a day but have things I need to do!
Avatar n tn I have been told that I have a stress line of the Cuneiform bone of foot. Was put in a walking plaster for two weeks. Still swollen and painful after three weeks. How long do these take to heal? and what further treatment is possibly available?

Avatar n tn If it is a stress fracture you have to let it heal with immobilisation and taking calcium and protein supplements in diet. If it does not respond you would need a surgical intervention. Take care!
Avatar n tn I've get heart palpitations a lot, espicially after i exercise and I'm starting to get injured more frequently. I think i have a stress fracture on my left foot kind of under the big toe (ball of the foot) that hasn't gone away since last November.
Avatar m tn I asked my dr about it and he said that just because it is healed on the outside, the inside can still take a while to heal completely. It may just be that your cut is taking more time to heal on the inside. But, your best answer will come from your dr. Good luck!
Avatar f tn My doctor prescribed a Splint by a company called Dynasplint. You wear it 6 to 8 hours a day. It applies backward Pressure from 5 to 25 pounds adjustable to slowly stretch and bend your knee. You can achieve about 3° of stretch per week. You wear it while sitting and watching TV. The rental is about $200 a month and covered by most insurance companies.

Avatar f tn About three months ago I saw a doctor regarding severe pain around the second metatarsal of my foot. When I ran cross-country in high school and college (7 and 6 years ago, respectively), I experienced 2 metatarsal stress fractures (one in each foot, subsequent years) and had low bone density (osteopenia) as a result of an eating disorder. I had been on fosamax for awhile, take calcium, and my weight is back to normal, so supposedly my bone density is fine now.
Avatar m tn person, meaning no other medical conditions, can take up to 8 weeks to fully heal. It is not unheard of for fractures to take up to 12 weeks to heal. If your foot still hurts a lot it may be time for a new xray to make sure your bones are healing. Your orthopedist can then decide how to proceed with further bracing, casting, etc. Probably doesn't help much, but I hope I helped.
Avatar f tn I think if you leave it alone to heal, it will heal properly by itself. Why is it a callous in the first place? have you fixed the issue that is causing the callous?
Avatar f tn t just dismiss her as being a drama queen which is what a lot of these doctors are wont to do right? I guess at least she has seen this doctor so if anything shows up again she will have her foot in the door and something that he can base anything new on from this exam! Please let us know if anything changes and you are more than welcome to stick around honey...actually there is a rule that once you put your foot in the door you are not allowed to leave! Didn't Quix tell you that?
Avatar m tn This may be related to the fracture, plantar fasciitis, spurs or other degenerative conditions. It is possible to continue to have a stress fracture over months when it is not given due attention and appropriate care. Conservative management of stress fracture should aim at movement restriction and non-weightbearing for atleast 6-8 weeks, while stressful activities should be resumed gradually after 12-16 weeks.
Avatar m tn My cat got his left hind foot (paw) caught in piano lid (piano keys cover). He was dangling with his foot caught in it and screaming in pain. We opened the lid and he got out. His hind leg instantly swelled and there is a sore on it from where it was pinched. He seems to be walking on it, but you can tell he's not putting a lot of pressure on it. He's jumping up, but again, you can see that he favours the other foot. It's still quite swollen.
Avatar f tn Hi! I've been suffering from this unknown foot problem for almost a year. The skin is peeling off and it causes non healing wounds. I tried to put some creams like Drapolene and Flamazine, it kinda heal the open wound but the peeling won't stop. I also tried to go to a Dermatologist but he just let me observe if its an allergy. I hope someone could help me with the problem. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Also, when ever I wear my Uggs my foot seems to be really itchy wear my tattoo it. I've worn Uggs before I got my tattoo (& of course I'm not wearing them not seeing that it's summer) but what should I do when winter comes?
Avatar f tn the doctor said my foot will never heal and to start to walk on it. im afraid to damage the fracture more, and would like it to heal. should i continue to not walk on it? But this time keep the boot on 24/7 in hopes that the fracture mends itself? my next xrays is in 4 weeks from now. how long should i keep no pressure on it, ive kept no pressure for 9 weeks.
Avatar m tn I can't comment on the bowel problem, stress and a reaction to drugs come to mind. The dry cough I'm betting is a result of the medication(s) he is taking, a normal side affect of ACE inhibitors. I had the dry cough for a couple of months after my first heart attack, but the body gets used to the drugs, and they do help the heart heal. Do correspond your concerns to your father's doctor.
Avatar f tn I had an x ray, and it confirmed a stress line, of the cuneiform bone of foot. I was put in a cast for two weeks. I am now in a crepe bandage for a week. It is very pain and it really hurts on weight bearing. It is also painful at the back of my leg when I walk. Could you explain what a stress line is? and how long it will take to heal. I have bechets disease and I am on azathioprine treatment. I have also got surgical menopuase, I had my ovaries out 9 years back. I am on HRT.
Avatar m tn Does anyone have experience with a tear like this? Does the mycosa of the vagina heal fast? How long would it take to heal? When could you have sex and were there any problems? Thanks!
Avatar m tn But, best to have labs, rule out any lab abnormalities, keep a journal of symptom changes with dosing, discuss with your physician, try a different brand. Wish you well.
