172023 tn?1334672284 I have good shoes, fitted professionally and have had them observe my gait and foot strike, that seems fine. I think I just flat overdid it. I would like to continue short walks, but if it would be better to totally not do it for a week, I would. Thanks for any advice.
Avatar n tn The act of running produces a good amount of impact on foot strike. The up and down shaking of the stomach can produce a feeling in the stomach and possible cramping. This may take time for a runner to get used to but can be helped if you take some precautions about what you drink and eat prior to and after each run. "Exercise physiologist Kitty Consolo, PhD, is cited in Valente's article as suggesting that changes in your diet before a run may need to be made.

Avatar m tn I'm a runner and recently got a pain on top of foot, as if my laces were too tight 9they may have been!) recently been doing a lot of off road running on uneven hard surface. it seems to be in the Extensor Hallucis Brevis area and there is a squashy lump the size of a smallish coin in that area, which isn't really painful to touch. If I loosen my laces in that area I can walk and do a bit of running without too much discomfort.
338416 tn?1420045702 s quite foot drop yet, but I certainly have to *think* about lifting my foot up. They make a foot brace that would hold my foot up, but it's plastic and clunky. I don't think I would have started running again if it wasn't for the weight. I get so frustrated, because I'm really trying to restrict my calories, and it doesn't do a bit of good. Working out on the trainer was exercise, but it just wasn't enough. I'm starting to wonder if I have a thyroid problem.

Avatar m tn Lately i have been having a sharp pain in my left testicle, inner thigh, and sometimes even my foot after exercising. I do not notice any lumps or abnormal things with my testicles. What could this be?
Avatar f tn They call look at all sorts of other things like the shoes you wear, how your muscles are strength wise and how you strike your foot. That is all super technical in my opinion. But if you have a trainer and a good running shoe store, you can get some great advice. If this becomes chronic, you should see an orthopedic doctor for guidance. good luck and happy racing!
Avatar m tn If you are flat footed then start wearing proper supportive foot wear and also insoles. You would also need to check for any local injury, your mineral balance and your blood hemoglobin values. In some cases, surgery is necessary to relieve the symptoms and improve foot function. Take care!

Avatar f tn A few days after the symptom relief, I was playing basketball and tried to do a spinning maneuver while simultaneously elevating off of my right foot. I had neglected to properly stretch and I felt a very sharp, sudden stretching, tearing pain in my pelvic area. It felt like a muscle or ligament pulling. The pain radiated into my genitals and when I pressed on my pubic area I felt a tenderness. I tried to stretch it off and continue to play but it limited my mobility so badly I had to quit.
Avatar m tn Have proper balanced diet and also maintain proper body weight and use proper chairs and beds to limit wear and tear of your spine. Always wear proper foot wear. I would also suggest you to go for stretching exercises if the pain is chronic and also for physical therapy. Follow up with an orthopedician. Take care!
Avatar f tn The shin muscles can also be somewhat alleviated by footwear and choice of surface. Runners who strike heavily with the heel should look for shoes which provide ample rear foot cushioning. Such shoes may be referred to as "stability" or "motion control" shoes. The so-called "neutral" shoes for bio-mechanically efficient runners may not have adequate support in the heel, because the runners for whom these shoes are intended do not require it.
Avatar m tn Wow, you appear perplexed on how to managing your diabetes yet you come across as having the knowledge. We get many posters with their diabetes running amok because they do little to practice self-control or practice what they already know. I hope you take my comments in a positive constructive manner. "i need to manage my sugar better." Translated: It's hard to give up my sweets and deserts. A: Try using a sugar substitute like Splenda. Find sugar free alternatives if you must.
Avatar n tn As I started training I have noticed a little foot pain on the bottom of foot which was just caused a little soreness however as I completed my longest run of 12 miles on Saturday and the next day I couldn't put pressure on my foot without it hurting nor could I manage to walk for a standard period of time. Today is Wednesday and I still feel a little discomfort in walking but not nearly as severe as Sundays pain.
Avatar m tn I recently began running after not having done so for some time and after several runs - admittedly longer than was wise - I noticed that as I walk I feel like something is moving around under my left foot in the midfoot area. The feeling of movement occurs primarily when my heel has just left the ground and lasts until the foot is at an angle of about 30 degrees.
Avatar f tn If pain when running occurs when you are running very hard or increasing your speed, this could be a side stitch, according to Cool Running. If the pain subsides when you slow down, this is another sign your pain could be due to a stitch. However, if your pain is accompanied by other abdominal symptoms, such as nausea, diarrhea or vomiting, this could be a sign of abdominal upset, according to the American College of Gastroenterology.

Avatar f tn Getting the proper walking/running shoes is vital to prevent shin splints. First you should rest, your body has to recover, and ice your shins most importantly. You need to get shoes that support the arch of your foot.
Avatar m tn The left foot is healing on its own but the right is still uncomfortable. especially bothersome while and after running. He went to seen 3 surgeons and everyone suggested different remedies to get rid off. As he used to run for jogging so he asked surgeon to shoes for plantar fasciitis and heel spurs as he doesn't want to stop running. Surgeon suggest him to fins that shoes with minimum padding in the heel cup help out. Do you guys have any suggestion ?
Avatar f tn In the last 3 or 4 years I started trying out different forms of exercise. Running seemed to be the most effective, however I've developed some problems with my knees and right foot. I've also tried yoga (hatha, bikram), pilates, various types of bootcamp and recently the bar method - all of which I enjoy. If there's weightloss, I can usually see it in my face and upper body, however my problem areas are my abdomen, obliques and thighs.
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.

675347 tn?1365460645 It has hit her hard, and she has spent 99% of today on a lovely bed by a log fire being waited on hand and foot. (And she is the sort of dog who likes to spend 99% of her time running about outside! So no prizes for anyone who can spot the difference!) But she has eaten, and shows a lot of interest in food. She's on antibiotics twice a day. She walks very very carefully out to poop and pee, and is very ready to get back to bed.
17507144 tn?1457325060 I've had what my Dr. Called a plantars wart on the bottom of my foot for well over a year now. We've tried different things along the way, it was a bother but it really didnt affect me all that much. But it has grown into a rather large ball protruding out of the bottom of my heel. So heres the thing, One day it starts draining a little pus.
Avatar n tn My grandmother had this (but it can strike at an early age too). Typically someone who has this has high cholesterol and triglyceride type levels. What happens with it is the plaque builds up in a blood vessel until the blood vessel becomes blocked. Then portion of the blood vessel below the block dies from lack of oxygenation. Ischemic pain (pain from lack of oxygen to tissue) is extremely painful. My sister recently heard they can put stents in a person's leg.
