This is a very : Difficult to answer without knowing all the details of our case. Why are you bed bound? What is the cause of your pain?

Question 8

can acl reconstruction screw up a nerve that causes foot pain? oct 2013 i had it done and i still get really painful sensations in the foot sometimes

Accepted Answer

ACL Surgery: It is unlikely that your intermittent foot pain has been caused by ACL reconstruction in 2013. If a nerve was damaged at the time of surgery, the symptoms would be continuous, not intermittent. Some patients can develop a condition called chronic regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after lower extremity surgery. It is more common in females with lower extremity trauma. Recommend evaluation for this

Question 9

can plantarfacitis cause foot pain and tingling to the ball of the foot and toes? and can you get it in both feet at the same time.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Plantar fasciitis causes pain at the base of the arch where it attaches to the heel. Worse with 1st few steps in am or after sitting for a while. Tingling & pain by toes is usually due to inflammation of the ball joints (metatarsal phalangeal joints) or a nerve irritation between toes called a morton's neuroma. All these are very common foot pain conditions and can be treated. Can be on both sides.

Question 10

i have heel pain and foot pain on the outside of foot immediately in front of the heel.  it seems to get aggravated after running or being on my feet.

Accepted Answer

A lot there.: It sounds as though you are speaking of the area around the base of the fifth metatarsal, cuboid, calcaneus junction. A lot can be going on there including but not limited to inflamed fascia, tendon, an accessory bone or even a stress fracture. You best bet is to see a specialist for an evaluation to sort out all the possibilities.
