Read MoreAbout six months ago, I started wearing orthotics. Last summer, I stopped wearing them and started wearing open heel sandles (because of the heat of the day) I got a sharp, very localised pain at a particular point on the inside of the heel on the left foot after two days. Occasionally stabbing pains up through the ankle occured if I ignored it. It was on the side of the heel, just a milimetre up from the part of the heel that touches the ground when standing still. Walking intensified it, resting eased it. After three weeks complete rest it began to go away. Recovery seemed complete. But a very similar complaint has now reemerged. The pain is somewhat less focused, but still localised. It now feels like I’ve been for a very long walk – the heel ‘aches’. Sharp stabbing pains occur if I don’t rest the foot. Podiatrist speculates nerve damage, no obvious remedial action. I went back to the Orthotics after the two days in the Summer, but after the most recent episode, I give up on them – they seem to have caused the problem. What are my prospects for full recovery?
Read More My 16 yr. old son has had a loud clicking in his ankle whenever he walks for about 4-5 years.
It doesn’t hurt him, but it is very bothersome, especially when he walks on stage at school while performing in the choir.
What can be done about it?
Thanks.
I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH POST TIB TENDONITIS 3 MONTHS AGO AND THE PAIN HAS NOT LEVELLED OFF. I HAVE TRIED, ORTHOTICS,PT,ICE,HEAT,ULTRASOUND,VIOXX, 1 CORTISONE INJECTION AND HAVE NOW BEEN IN A SOFT BOOT CAST FOR 3 WEEKS AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HELPIING. THE CORTISONE SHOT DID HELP FOR ABOUT A WEEK BUT IT CAME BACK. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APRECIATED.
Read More About a week or so ago, I noticed a shiny red bump on the second toe (next to my big toe) of my left foot.
I’m not sure if this is related to it, but I have had what my dr. calls a “blocked oil gland” on my upper thigh about a month ago, which is annoying and tends to come and go. However, two days ago I noticed a dark spot in the center of the bump that seems to have gotten slighter darker and bigger by today. I didn’t have this spot with the blocked oil gland. Do you have any idea what this thing could be?Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
I was playing basketball and got hit hard in my quad muscle. I developed a huge charlie horse in my quad. A couple days later, my leg still still hurt a little, but I played basketball anyway. The day after that, my leg got much worse, and now I can barely bend it to an L position. About how long will it be until my leg gets better, and what’s should I do to help it heal faster?
Read MoreHello, I have had ongoing pain in both knees and calves.There was no particular injuries to my legs. I have had 2 arthroscopic surgeries and a partial knee replacement(in right leg) which have not helped with my pain.Both knees hurt about the same.There is a question as the whether or not the pain is coming from my lower back.A MRI shows an assymetric disc bulge at L4-5 and some degenerative changes.There is no evidence of focal disc herniation. What is your opinion on my case ?.Thanks,Lorraine Weeks
Read More I was punched hard in the belly while sparring. One day later, I got very nauseous, and the next day (today) I still feel queasy and my belly is very sore.
How long should I rest those muscles?
