Question 1

why does my foot hurt so bad whenever i bend it? what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Foot pain: Many things can cause foot pain.  You might be suffering from a type of arthritis which could explain the pain during motion.  I would suggest evaluation by a foot and ankle specialist.

Question 2

possible reason why the arch and inside of my foot hurt so bad?

Accepted Answer

Soft tissue injury: Common pathologies for arch pain, particularly on the inside of the foot are plantar fasciitis and posterior tibial tendonitis.  See a podiatrist to have an examination and have options for treatments.

Question 3

what would make my left foot hurt so bad when i have walked on it for a little while? my foot hurts with sharp pain in the middle of the inside of my foot.  i can not stand to apply pressure to my foot.   it hurts like this every time i have been up like

Accepted Answer

It's : It's always a challenge trying to give meaningful answers to questions without some important information, like age, how long the pain has been there, whether there was any association with trauma, whether there is any swelling or redness, and what, if anything, relieves it. But i'll try my best.... <> it sounds like you're referring to the arch area. Arch pain can be due to many things, including flat feet, tendonitis, arthritis, and an assortment of inflammatory conditions. It could also be vascular, either arterial ("poor circulation") or venous (phlebitis). There are also a number of conditions that stem from the plantar fascia, a ligament that connects the heel to the ball of the foot, and runs underneath the arch, including simple inflammation of the plantar fascia to a fibroma vested inside the plantar fascia. Since you describe your pain as sharp, and it seems to be fairly pronounced, since you're unable to bear full weight on your foot, and it (if i'm interpreting your question correctly) seems to be painful only on weight bearing, a stress fracture is not out of the question either. Of course, your best bet is to pay a visit to your favorite podiatrist, get an x-ray, and i assure you, you'll have a much better idea of what's going on with your tootsie after that than you'd ever find out asking on line here. Good luck!

Question 4

plantar wart is making my foot hurt so bad. any suggestions to get rid of it? have tried compound wart, duct tape, sallyic acid, pumice stone etc

wart

Accepted Answer

How to destroy it...: A dermatologist or some primary care doctors can destroy a plantar wart by freezing it, by cutting off the top of it and freezing the base of it, or by using an electric needle to zap it to death... or even doing surgery on it if it is huge and deep. So, it all depends on how big it is, which part of the foot it's on, what the patient wants to do, and what equipment the doctor has in the office.

Question 5

why does my foot hurt so extremely bad after total knee replacement 2 weeks ago?

Accepted Answer

Best asking surgeon : I believe your inquiry is too soon to ask questions other than to your surgeon. I believe he/she is in the best position to answer any questions and concerns you may have.  However, there is never a problem in seeking a second opinion.

Question 6

why does my foot hurt bad after it got the ingrown toenail removed by a doctor befour the nail even grew all the way back a sharp pain?

Accepted Answer

Follow up: With the doctor who performed the procedure. Sometimes, there may be a piece of nail that was not removed, other times a cyst may of developed where the procedure was performed.

Question 7

not sure what i did to my foot but i have bpttem of heel, and side of foot pain. swollen and bruised. what should i do? hurts worse with weight on it

Accepted Answer

Heel pain: If no history of injury, it might be inflammation of the fascia in the bottom of the foot. If there was injury associated with it need to rule out sprain or fracture of little bones in the foot

Question 8

for what reasons might the outside lining of my foot hurt?

Accepted Answer

Unclear whatis : Meant by "outside lining" but i would rule out peroneal tendonopathy, stress fracture of the 5th metatarsal. Sometimes in cases like this when there is no definitive diagnosis and an MRI is ordered the results reveal "bone marrow edema" which is not a fracture but often the step before a fracture.

Question 9

should my foot hurt after almost a week since being stepped on by somebody else?

Accepted Answer

Stepped: Usually not. But, if it was hard enough, you may have an injury needing attention by a podiatrist or your pcp. It may be just a contusion (blunt injury) with residual pain. If it continues the same for another week and you can't walk on it, get some help. Try ice and rest. You might want to try some Aleve (naproxen) or Motrin also to decrease the soreness due to the injury.

Question 10

why does the top of my foot hurt i don t have to move it just relaxing and pain shoots through the top of my foot?

Accepted Answer

Nerve pain: Shooting pain without bearing weight sounds like nerve involvement.  Possibly nerve entrapment.
