Accepted Answer

Injury?: You may want to followup with your family practice provider to look for possible injuries related to your workouts. Try using tylenol, (acetaminophen) ibuprofen, ice over the painful locations to minimize discomfort.

Question 2

can a pinched nerve cause numbness and weakness that comes and go on the right arm/hand and right leg/foot?  also, pain in the shoulder blade/bicep.

Accepted Answer

2 nerves: one pinched nerve can't cause numbness in arm and leg.  So look for other causes, or multiple levels of disease

Question 3

i recently had foot pain on back of right foot.  that is better but now ankle of left foot has pain at times at area of old injury. ice & rest helps.

Accepted Answer

Ankle pain: Consider Achilles tendinitis, sprain, strain, or overuse

Question 4

no injury. have outer ankle/foot pain for > 3 weeks no swelling/bruiseing antinflammatories & icing but pain is worse. clean xrays, dr gave no cause.

Accepted Answer

Purely based: On exact location of pain and clinical exam the doctor should have a differential diagnosis. Xrays only show bone and are only going to help if there is bony injury.
If you simply mark your foot with an "x" take a pic and post it a differential diagnosis could be given...Was your doctor a specialist?

Question 5

can back pain cause stabbing foot pain?

Accepted Answer

Referred back pain: Unfortunately, back pain all too often does cause foot and leg pain if it is caused by nerve problems."sciatica" is a painful nerve condition that is due to pinching of the major thigh nerve from the back and sends pain down to the foot.  See your family doctor first for an examination of your back problems to isolate a correct diagnosis.

Question 6

what causes foot pain in the heel when bending down or pulling the toes back?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciitis: Is the most likely cause, often caused by excessive tension on plantar fasciia and achilles tendon.

Question 7

can tight lower back muscles in and of itself cause foot pain?

Accepted Answer

Indirectly: It may be the opposite, that foot pain may cause back strain.  But if you have tight lower back muscles, it can indirectly lead to foot pain by compensation during walking.

Question 8

can burning shin and foot pain be caused by a nerve in lower back without the lower back actually hurting ? burning symptoms intermittent last 2 month

Accepted Answer

Yes: A pinched nrve in the back or sciatica can cause these symptoms in tthe leg witout any pain in the back actually it is not unusual.

Question 9

can sciatica cause extreme back leg pain, knee and calf as well as ankle and foot pain, nearly to extent of feeling like a sprained ankle?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All these symptoms may result from sciatica, but see a doc to make sure you don’t have disc disease , or other compression, that also can produce the same symptoms.

Question 10

fell 2 months ago, pain in back shoulder but now i feel like i'm high when i'm not, like i took a drug. can back injury cause this & if not, then what?

Accepted Answer

Feeling high / dizzy: It doesn't seem like a fall with symptoms 2 months later could be related-- unless you banged your head when you fell. Feeling "high" could be a cause for the fall-- I wonder if your heart is OK. Were you checked for arrhythmia? Two things affect these symptoms - brain and/or heart - so I think this is serious enough to get checked out by an MD.
