Yes : Yes have this checked by an orthopedist. A primary care doctor may not be able to get a more challenging diagnosis.

Question 2

the back inside of my right heel hurts very badly when i walk. this occurs all day. it also hurts when i flex my foot upwards.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Sounds like: You might have a problem with your Achilles tendon. I suggest you see a local Podiatrist as soon as possible as you risk further injury.  I would also recommend getting an MRI.

Question 3

i'm having pain in mid foot & ankle pain when i squeeze my toes it hurts when i flex my foot upwards it hurts what could b causing this pain?

Accepted Answer

Go to podiatrist: See the podiatrist to be properly examined.  There are numerous differentials that can be causing this pain ranging from swelling, contusion, nerve irritation, tenodnitits or even a fracture.  A proper evaluation and work up is needed.

Question 4

my foot hurts every time i run, its been like this for a month, got an x-ray, they saw nothing, but now i see a squishy lump on the outside of foot and a bump on top of foot and hurts a little when i flex my foot up and when i press on it, it hurts?

Accepted Answer

: It is possible you are experiencing a stress fracture of metatarsal bone. A slight break in the bone might not present itself until 4 weeks after the injury will you see bone healing. As for the outside of the foot enough information has not been provided  a surgical shoe would be appropriate without running. See a podiatrist for care and follow up to prevent injury.

Question 5

my foot hurts when i walk hurts when flex my foot up i had a stress fracture in foot about 9 months ago what else could it b?

Accepted Answer

Have a foot exam...: Your stress fracture 9 months ago may have been more than just the bone injury.  There are several soft tissue structures that overlay the top of the foot.  There are tendons and ligaments which may have been damaged.  Have the foot checked properly.  See a podiatrist for a full foot exam.  You had a bone scan and ct scan, but an MRI is a better diagnostic test to evaluate the soft tissue.

Question 6

are there any calf muscles used in foot flexion?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The main calf muscles are the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles that flex the foot down (point the toes). Lesser muscles involved include the peroneal muscles, the posterior tibial, flexor digitorum longus and the flexor hallucis longus muscle.

Question 7

had a nerve block for large toe amputation on neuropathic foot 18 hours ago and no flexion has returned. foot and ankle like wood. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

: 18 hours is not unusual but you can also present circulatory conditions so not absorb the local anesthetic as quickly. If epinephrine was used 24 hours are not unusual in a “normal” foot.  If any further concerns call the surgeon. He is best source of information about the surgery.

Question 8

what it the best way to treat peripheral nerve damage. i am suffering from ankle plantar flexion in right foot,limping and walking,how to improve this? i had a lumbar microdiscetomy 2 months back and after surgery having numbness and leg weakness?

Accepted Answer

: Check with your surgeon . If no permanent damage then with PT this can gradually recover. You might also need special foot wear. Good luck

Question 9

pain in my left wrist and left ankle upon flexion of either part.  could this issue be tendon and interrelated.?

Accepted Answer

Wrist and ankle pain: The most common cause of wrist pain is from alignment injury and can be treated conservatively with rest, over the counter analgesics (if no medical contraindications) and compression. Other common causes include carpal tunnel syndrome, a nerve compression at the wrist. Ankle pain is commonly related to sprain and treated similarly with rest, ice, compression and elevation.
