Question 1

sprained ankle 2 years ago pain on bottom of both feet since. mri xray nerve conduction negative tried pf treatments & insoles what else can it be.  ?

Accepted Answer

Foot posture change: Your foot posture or positioning of your joints may have changed since your injury 2 yrs ago. You need to have a full biomechanical evaluation by a podiatrist. Your insoles may not be supportive enough.

Question 2

pain on the bottom of both feet esp. when i first stand up that gets better with walking i am a nurse that works up to 12 hours on my feet but this is really a problem just when i first stand and start walking

Accepted Answer

You : You are describing post-static dyskinesia.  (post = after; status = rest; dyskinesia = pain; thus, "pain after rest")

without knowing exactly what parts of your feet you're feeling this in, it's hard to give specific advice.  In my practice, post-static dyskinesia is most common in the heels, and a common symptom of plantar fasciitis, or an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a ligament that connects the heel bone to the ball of the foot.  Plantar fasciitis is usually something that develops over several months and is associated with a high arched foot structure (which is less shock-absorbing than a flatter foot).  While excessive weight doesn't really cause plantar fasciitis, there is an association between weight gain and plantar fasciitis, and excessive weight makes it harder to treat.

The best treatments for plantar fasciitis are some sort of orthotic to wear inside your shoe, steroid injections, stretching and wearing a night splint.  Interestingly, some recent research has shown that over-the-counter arch supports have a better cure rate for this problem than a custom made orthotic, believe it or not!

i've focused on plantar fasciitis only because it's the most common cause of post-static dyskinesia.  There are many other problems associated with this symptoms, but without more specific information, it's difficult to give specific advice.

In general, however, if you're on your feet long hours, it's best to wear a supportive sneaker, like new balance or nike, and one of the best over-the-counter arch supports out there are powersteps, which you can buy on line in many places.

Hope this helps.  I love nurses!  i married one!

Question 3

my father (67) has terrible pain in the bottom of both feet and it's worse lying down and on rising in the am. could you help diagnose him please?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciitist: If pain is relieved with walking, most likely  it plantar fasciitist.  I would get him a good pair of foot supports.  Superfeet.

Question 4

i have brown stains on my feet. i didn't have them yesterday. they are on the bottom of both feet?

Accepted Answer

From environment: The stains came from something in your environment. If you wore shoes without socks, the dye could have leached out. If you walked barefoot over carpet or wood floor, dye could have stained your feet. Likely not harmful and will wear off in a day or so. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 5

i have dry pathes of skin, starting as little brown dots  appearing on the top and bottom of both feet that don't itch- easy to peel off after 3-4 dys

Accepted Answer

Could be # of things: Hyperkeratosis or simply excessive skin cells in the outer layer of the epidermis is most likely.  This may occur for many reasons, including fungal infection, although that is more commonly associated with itching.  Another possibility is capiliaritis, which look more like cayanne pepper spots.  If it persists best to have a specilaist take a look.

Question 6

have foot pain that makes it seem like the bottom of both feet are on fire.  also, some pain in my right heel. have had foot pain, but never this much?

Accepted Answer

Could be neuropathy: Tarsal tunnel, herniated disc or radiculopathy from the back....right heel pain can be fascitiis or a sour..

Question 7

i have fluid on the bottom of both feet; it feels like im walking on something and i can move the fluid with my finger.  what could this be and how to treat ?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Heart failure is a common cause of edema of feet. Another issue is venous insufficiency which is much less serious. Either way it would be prudent to see your doctor. It is not a do it yourself matter.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

large red bumps breaking out on top and bottom of both feet?

Accepted Answer

Anything: Could be a variety of conditions.  Get seen by your doctor for a further assessment of the issue.

Question 9

i have a very very itchy rash on bottom of both feet and it causes me to stay up every night since friday and i don't know what it is.

Accepted Answer

See a dermatologist: Dyshidrotic eczema? Tinea pedis [fungus]? Other? Best to get exam by a pro.

Question 10

hi i have two biggish sore balls on the bottom of both feet at the top also on both big toes it's really sore to walk on?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fibroma: The balls on the bottom of your foot sound like plantar fibromas, which are a build up of tissue within the ligament on the bottom of your foot.  They are generally benign but can become larger with time.  I recommend you see a foot specialist for evaluation and treatment.
