Question 1

have u ever seen a pt. with bilateral plantar foot pain, no morning pain, pain worse when standing then walking? how was pt diagnosed and treated?

Accepted Answer

Strained arch.: Plantar foot pain, generally , can arose from 3 areas. The ball, the arch or the heel. The arch has the largest surface area, and it's no surprise that it is also the area the patients complain about most. You symptoms are more than likely due to a strain on the soft tissue structures in the arch, namely the fascia. Since it is on both heels it is probably due to your shoes. Start with the shoes.

Question 4

which muscles contract when you plantar flex your foot?

Accepted Answer

Gastrocnemius/soleus: Which pull the Achilles' tendon plantar flexing the foot

Question 5

what is the normal response of a foot plantar reflex?

Accepted Answer

Foot reflex: Not sure what you are talking about. If you mean when a doctor rubs a reflex hammer on the bottom of your foot..Then that test is called babinski sign and this tests for brain damage. The upper motor neurons are damaged by the big toe going up and the other toes flair out. Very distinct response. If you have this you may want to be referred to a neurologist.

Question 6

i'm scaeed. can plantar warts indicate foot melanoma?

Accepted Answer

No: Foot warts are different than melanoma, and are approached differently.  Melanoma is very serious, and if you have a questionable skin lesion you should bring it to your doctor's attention immediately. Not knowing seems to be scary to you now.  Why not have it checked out and [likely] get started on appropriate care.

Question 7

Question 9

after a high ankle sprain 6 weeks ago, i am still experiencing discomfort at my achilles' tendon and heel when i plantar flex my foot. why is this?

Accepted Answer

Achilles pain: Sorry about your sprain.  Your achilles tendon is a nearby structure and during your sprain, you may have also damaged your nearby structures or the swelling from the sprain can cause pain around the area. Also, sometimes posterior ankle impingement at the joint cause pain when plantarflexing.  Best of luck.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Hmmmm...: Anything goes with plantar warts. Having said that, at your age, there is less of a chance of your problem being a wart. Have it evaluated to remove all doubt.
