Question 1

the side of my right foot kills can't walk ball of foot hurts to walk on?

Accepted Answer

Pain with walking: Pain in ball of foot can range from capsulitis, stress fracture, neuroma and a whole host of other issues.  Pain on side of foot falls into the same category.  In order to truly evaluate a podiatrist needs to have a thorough history and do a physical exam, including xrays.

Question 2

what can i do to ease the pain? injured toe 7 months ago. dr said tore tendons and they healed as much as they would. now it hurts to walk, ball of foot pain where toe connects. 4th toe. feels like tendons/muscles loose. pain on top also. mri xray ok?

Accepted Answer

: Many, many possibilities - “complex regional pain syndrome”, persistent hairline fracture of toe, “premature” osteoarthritis, malposition of tendon, infection of tendon repair, etc, etc.  Need to see Orthopedic or Podiatric surgeon, need complete exam (maybe plus MRI) and proceed from there.

At 7 months, unlikely to heal spontaneously.  At 63 years, may ultimately become very disabling

Question 3

my left foot hurts when i wake up or walk after sitting since 5 months. when i am walking it does not hurt?

Accepted Answer

PAD: See your dr and make sure you got good circulation in your leg (foot).

Question 4

i stubbed my toe and when i walk my entire foot hurts bad even while walking on my heel, but when just sitting only my toe hurts. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Ouch..: Start by having your foot evaluated for damage due to the injury site. It could possibly be  a fracture of the toe or a connecting bone. Count on having an x-ray taken.

Question 5

fell 3 wks ago. shin still hurts bad and swollen. feel 2 lumps. side of foot hurts to walk on it. told i sprained it, no xray. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

No, not normal at --: all. If symptoms are improving then I would not worry, if not, then I would have it seen to by an Orthopod with Xrays and treatment, as necessary started.
Good Luck.

Question 6

swollen red painful ball of foot, hurts to step, or wear shoes. can move around if rub it?

Accepted Answer

Possible neuroma: Most likely a pinched swollen nerve which is more common in women due to shoes and certain activities.  .

Question 7

the side of my foot hurts really bad when i walk or when i push on it i'm only 22 what could it be?

Accepted Answer

5th metatarsal: Could you be a little more specific? If it is on the outside it is important that you see a physician & have imaging to determine if you have a (stress) fracture. If there is a fracture then treatment usually consist of crutches, boot/ cast, or surgery. There is a chance that a fifth metatarsal fracture may be a “jones fracture” and have a high risk for nonunion, or failure to heal properly.

Question 8

my ankle/top of my foot hurts when i walk down stairs. the pain is on the outside of the foot?

Accepted Answer

Just a thought: sounds a bit like METATARSALGIA  pain in the head of the metatarsal bone, 4th 5th toes.....
An in person visit would be helpful since there is usually POINT TENDERNESS over that bone..
Hope this is helpful!

Question 9

my foot hurts to walk on since my son fell over it what shod i do?

Accepted Answer

See a podiatrist: Need to be evaluated for any broken bones. Since feet do not have much muscle for protection, they can break. Please see a podiatrist to for x-rays to make sure there is no fracture. Meanwhile ice your foot and elevate it as much as possible.

Question 10

the outside of my foot hurts when i walk. will inserts help ?

Accepted Answer

Orthotics: Orthotics are designed to help relieve pain in feet, some times prefab orthotics work and other time the patient must have a custom one made.  I recommend you get a diagnosis as to what is causing the foot pain.
