Since you have two children to take care of you should enlist the help of anyone competent enough to help you with them.  You alone could use some of that help just to keep you off your foot.  Ouch!!!  Elevate your foot to help with the swelling.  Take Extra Strength Tylenol when you need more pain relief than what the doctor gave you, with his permission of coarse, and allow time to do what it needs to do to heal your foot.  Ibueprofin is good for relieving swelling, but it can be very hard on your stomach lining especially if you already have any kind of trouble with your stomach.  Make sure you take it with some food.  Lots of water helps every process of the body on the cellular level, but be sure you are close enough to your bathroom so that you don't have to do much walking.  Get on line and look up the GNC  or other nutritional stores to see what is available.  They could even send you products in overnight mail.  It sounds like the best thing for you though is to enlist the help of the kids for whatever they are big enough to do for you and themselves.  It is a good chance for them to learn how to pull together as a family in times of need.  If they are too small though then that obviously won't help much.  Also, if money is an issue, in our area we can call the local county Health and Human Resources Center and ask for temporary assistance.  This could mean someone coming in to help you with yourself and/or the kids.  Some states and counties are stricter than other but it couldn't hurt to look into it.  If money isn't an issue, then try hiring a temporary "nanny" or house nurse.  Hope this gives you some ideas.  Feel better soon.  I would help you myself if I could.  Good Luck!

Ice it, keep off of it, keep it elevated, take some NSAID's.  (Non steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)   If it gets worse, Definitely take it to a Doctor.  Take it to One now If you can't move your toes or foot, or if it hurts too much to put wieght on, or if it looks or feels bad enough to raise serious concern.  But if all it is is a Little swelling, don't worry about It To Much.  \n\nFeel Better\n\nUncle Mike

Return to the hospital,\n they may  need , to re-x- ray your ankle ,\n it is possible a small  fracture, has been missed .\n\n Or you could have, an Achilles tendon injury  ( very painful ) \n that also and may  not  show up on the x-ray , at first .\n\n Do not weight -bear on it ,until you have had the doctors O.K \n\n pain and muscle spasms are warning signs,\n and should not be ignored \n\n I like the way you are being looked after hand and foot ,  \n that is great ;)\n That is good ! LOL!\n\n :( pain is not :((\n\n I hope you heal up very soon \n\n>^,,^<

if you can, wear more comfortable shoes - also those insoles will help with your balance and circulation, also cut back on salt products a bit and maintain balanced light meals, fast foods tend to add hidden salt and diet pop's. if it continues, might want to go to a Dr to check for low iron etc as this will also cause swelling. After getting home, after being on your feet all day, soak them in hot water and then raise them up and allow the natural healing happen, it will make you also feel better and also another method is to lay down on your left side instead of right side.\nbest wishes to you -

What sort of diagnosis did the doctors give you?  Can you describe the pain, i.e. is it more of a burning?  Have you been to see a neurologist?  Have you been to a physical therapist?\n\nUnsure if you have peripheral neuopathy or arthritis, maybe something else?\n\nRegardless, you may want to find a physical therapist who uses the Anodyne or Revitamed infrared therapy.  Check out their websites as I think they have a list of therapists who use this equipment.  This may help to relieve your symptoms, but you need an explanation for the cause of the pain - I am unsure of what is causing it.\n\nDid the doctors try taping your foot for support?\n\nGood luck!\n\nIn response to your answers:\n\nIf it is plantar fasciitis: this sounds a probable diagnosis.  Physical therapy can help with this.  We can use techniques, such as taping, ultrasound, etc. to help stretch out the area.  Plantar fasciitis can originate in the calf muscle because it is too tight.  You need to stretch out your calf!  Easiest way is by standing on a step and droping your heels off the edge.  I know one orthopedist who recommends holding the stretch for 10 minutes - quite painful to do but it can help.\n\nTry doing the following: fill an old soda bottle with water and freeze it.  Then, for about 10 minutes three times a day, take it out and roll your bare foot on it.  You can do this after the step stretch as it will help to calm down any inflammation.\n\nYou can also try a product called 'The Strassburg Sock' - specifically designed for plantar fasciitis and I have seen it work well with some patients.  Available over the counter and I think they have a website.\n\nAny other questions or comments?

Get good shoes for walking, take whatever pain med you can tolerate (ask your doctor first), use ice pack when needed. Main thing is see your doctor. Good luck.

FIRST OF ALL IF YOU WERE TOLD YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH YOUR CAROTID ARTERIES YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING BLOOD CLOTS. SWELLING,RED AND PAINFUL CALF'S ARE A SIGN OF BLOOD CLOTS IN THE LEGS. PLAVIX IS A BLOOD THINNER THAT HELPS TO HAVE THE BLOOD FLOW EASIER AND HELPS TO PREVENT THESE TYPE OF CLOTS. I WOULD ADVISE YOU TO GO TO THE ER, GET MEDICAL ATTENTION AND REQUEST A HOSPITAL SOCIAL WORKER THAT CAN HELP YOU GET GOVERNMENT HELP TO PAY YOUR MEDICAL BILLS.YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE EMBARRASSED ABOUT CARING FOR YOURSELF,AND I AM SURE THOSE WHO LOVE YOU WILL THANK YOU FOR IT.

I read in Prevention magazine about 2 to 3 months ago [I think it was the walking one] that this is a condition called planters fascias... basically there is a tendon on the bottom of the foot and when it is tight the heal will hurt.   Prevention recommended stretching it out by bending the toes toward your leg as far as possible.    Prevention also said that leaving this untreated can lead to Heel spurs.... \n\nI have this problem and the above helped.  What has helped me even more though is switching to Birkenstock shoes as they have significant arch and heel support.  There are several good orthotic type shoes on the market and for me I can say the investment has been well worth it.

Yes... it is important to see your doctor... as that vein could be the site of a blood clot and that blood clot could then travel in you circulatory system and into your heart... and THAT WOULD BE BAD!!!... Don't waste time... get to the ER or WALK IN CLINIC or to your DR. office STAT...  AN RN Nurse

You should see an orthopedist or a good podiatrist.  You may have fasciitis, which is an inflamation of the connective tissue of the foot.  Wear good shoes, no flip flops and ice your foot to help reduce inflammation.  Don't swallow the growing pains thing..if there is pain there is a problem.  This pain is the brains way of telling you that something is not normal/

So sorry you have been feeling unwell.  Based on your primary symptoms, it may be something like:\n\nGallstones \nPancreatitis \nCholecystitis \n\nBut you really need to follow up with a specialist to be sure.\nMy guess as a nurse would be more likely leaning towards Pancreatitis.\n\nRead about it here:\nhttp://www.mamashealth.com/pancreatitis.asp\n\nIf pain is getting worse or you have any signs of hypovolemia (loss of blood - bleeding, racing pulse, thirst, etc.)  PLEASE don't wait for your appointment to come, go to the Emergency Department of your local hospital.

Yes, and it hurts like hell! Just alternate heat and ice every 20 minutes, and it will help a lot. I did this by powerwalking. It takes a while to heal. My doctor put me in a walking boot so I could continue to walk. Just be patient!

I've had similar problems, not that I didn't have the money, just that I didn't want to spend the money on a doctor cutting on my foot. I had a bad one that went on for several months, soaking it and trying to fix it myself, until finally one day it hurt so bad I couldn't walk on it. I used some Peroxide to wash and clean it and then slowly started working with a small pair of scissors, the kind most women have for whatever they use them for lol, to move then end of the nail up out of the place that hurts...it took a while and it was painful at times, but as soon as I got it worked up and could break it off, it felt sooo much better. I know this isn't the safest or healthiest way, but if you keep everything clean and sterile it wouldn't hurt. I fixed mine and it's not bothered me for over 4 months now. Hope this helps a little.

I say you should go to a doctor and i agree with that guy that you should take an x-ray of your foot;and sister....I know how much it must be paining coz these sort of incidents were also experienced by me.Once a whole tire came on my foot and my whole right thigh was bleeding but it wasn`t a fracture coz my father pushed me due to which his hand got fractured and once i got ingured by the sharp edge of a sofa and guess what,not only my skin got peeled of but a piece of wood from the sofa broke as well it was 5 years ago but the skin did not grow there and the mark is still there.Hope you don`t get injured like me(sob).sorry for such a long answer!

Do yourself a favor and go directly to the doctor.  It sounds like you have poor circulation...and you want to make sure you don't have a blood clot.  Those are VERY serious...I almost died from one.  If you do have a blood clot, check for diabetes and for Factor 5 Leiden, which is what I have.  It's genetic.
