bearable pain when standing which gets worse. extreme pain if pressure applied to a point on 5th metetarsal. got worse across several months. cause?

Question

Which is the perfect shoe for off loading pressure on the forefoot while giving both arch and metatarsal support?

Answer 1

Could be : Tendonitis or a stress fracture. Would advise an xray.

Answer 2

Muscle or headache.: Neck strains - from poor posture, whiplash or vigorous exercise can cause muscle strains that you feel at the base of the skull (that's where some neck muscles attach). Certain types of headaches can do this as well. I'd try some Ibuprofen or alleve and see if it improves. If you start having blurry or double vision, nausea, or fevers, i'd see your doctor right away! cheers!

Answer 3

Occipital neuralgia: The greater occipital nerve runs inbetween the neck muscle tendon insertions at the posterior (occipital) skull base. It can get compressed and cause severe pains. First line treatment - motrin/advil around the clock for a week, muscle relaxation and gentle neck massages. If not better, try occipital nerve block. If not better soon, see your md for an examination to pinpoint the diagnosis.

Answer 4

Usually not a proble: Small pieces of glass are not likely to cause a problem. No need to go the the emergency department to have stomach pumped. Likely these pieces will pass through your intestinal tract without causing damage. Unlikely signs of something more serious (go to er): 1. Severe abdominal pain 2. Vomiting up blood or coffee ground material. 3. Passing blood or black colored bowel movements.

Answer 5

WOW !: I am concerned but I am reminded of the guy at the side-show who eats light bulbs. Depending on the size and shape of the glass shards you may be O.K.If larger than pencil eraser i'd seek medical attention.

Answer 6

Should be OK: If it was 21 hours ago- odds are everything should be fine as the glass has passed through your stomach. Now simply watch for pain and any blood in your stools. Also drink plenty of fluids to keep things moving through as quickly as possible. If you have severe bloating, any bleeding in your stools- you should give your physician a call.

Answer 7

See Orthopedic MD: Most scaphoid casts are on for only two weeks and you should be pain free. You need an orthopedic surgeon consultation and probably a mri.

Answer 8

Scaphoid?: It is possible that your fracture is not healed and you may be developing a nonunion. It would be best to discuss this with your physician.

Answer 9

Anal fissure: Most likely is that you have a sentinel tag on the outside of a rectal fissure not an infection. Many different treatments for this but will have to have the diagnosis made. Many office treatments and if they do not work only then is surgery recommended.
