New foot pain
(2 discussions)
I’ve had pain along the lateral side of my foot for over a year now (after reading this forum that doesn’t seem such a long time any more!), but strangely as i’ve increased walking due to my job i’ve started experiencing new pain that shoots straight under my foot just infront of the ball whenever I try to point m toes. The prob was supposed to be linked to tendonitis and had cortisone shot that didn’t make a lot of diff about 3months ago, is there a link? Sorry if this is quite vague, difficult to explain without u seeing it.

You are correct. There is no substitute for examining the area. One thought I had was a subluxed cuboid that might be pressing on the lateral plantar nerve. Another possibility is a stress fracture. Some foot pain is extremely difficult to pin point. Keep trying.

Thanks for the suggestions, is it likely that the original diagnosis was missing something then? I feel bad cos my doctor keeps trying different things+they’re not working so I keep going back +feel like i’m an annoyance!Thanks again, jane
