Running foot heel pain
Common Questions and Answers about Running foot heel pain
foot
I recently went running and afterwards I had a pretty sharp pain on the left side of my left foot, from the middle of my foot to the heel, although the pain is centered around the arch area. I hadn't gone running in a while and just attributed it to a typical out of shape aches and pains (my legs were also sore) that are normal and go away within a few days. It still hurt for a few days afterward but seemed to be getting better.
However the pain increased and now it is everytime I step with my heel the pressure on my heel cause pain and also an acute pain on the right side of my upper ankle. It is literally just localized to that one are and it is not my whole ankle or foot. When I walk on just the upper part of my foot there is no pain as well as sitting and twisting my foot around there is no pain. As I stay off of it it does not get worse and it actually felt a little better this Thursday morning.
And a lot of times I got a feeling in my ankle like when you need to crack your knuckles and rolling the ankle around will relieve it. But no pain. And then if I flexed my foot with my toes pointing down, and I know this sounds really weird, sometimes there is a feeling in the back and towards the left that is so mild, I couldn't even tell if it was actually pain. Just maybe like a pressure....almost like the feeling of needing to crack something!
I run track and a few weeks ago when I put on my spikes after a long time my heel started hurting. It didn't hurt me instantly, first my foot hurt on the top and then it stopped and when I was doing 400s for 1'20'' in spikes after runs my heel started hurting. First two weeks my heel stopped hurting the day after practice but now it hurts everyday. I just had 4 rest days and I did absolutely nothing and it still wouldn't stop hurting.
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.
) and i do intervals of walking and running, more walking than running usually. a few days ago my left heel started getting very sore during my run and when i got home it was a sizeable water blister, probably from the friction of my sneaker, even tho i was wearing socks. i safely popped the blister with a sterile needle, drained it as much as possible and put a blister treatment pad over it and medical tape.
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.
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.
I am retired and have tended to wear slippers (no foot support, and minimal protection) and have come to my worst ever case of heel pain. I thus started doing some of the heel stretches (just the right foot) and wearing shoes. However, the shoes I have been wearing are slip on leather. They have reasonable arch and cushion support. To make them easier to slip on/off I have stopped wearing socks when at home. Is there a down side to not wearing socks?
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.
