Stretching the calf muscles before getting out of bed in the morning and a few times per day will usually cure plantar fasciitis. Leaning against a wall with your feet flat on the ground is another way to stretch the plantar fascia. When the calf muscles allow the foot to bend back easily, there will be less tension in the bottom of the foot when walking or running. If the foot cannot bend back as far as needed, excessive tension in the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon occurs. \n\nNot stretching before walking can cause new injury so make a habit of stretching before walking. And, stretching too far or too many times at once can hurt the heel and Achilles tendon. Try stretching slowly about five times before getting out of bed and after sitting a while.\n\nThe longer you wait to start stretching after plantar fasciitis begins, the longer your recovery will be. It may even take months of regular stretching if you have had the pain for too long. Replacing stiff-soled shoes with flexible shoes, using better arch support, using shoes with thicker and softer soles, and/or losing weight will help keep plantar fasciitis from returning.

Could be one of three things.. You are walking too heavily on your heels, have a displacement of one or more of the tarsal bones or, the attachment of the arch to the talus. Are you losing the arch in the foot? Several things should have been checked. That being one of them. The body will defend the area by allowing the formation of crystalline material there and will eventually develop a spur on one of the ligamentous attachments. It should have at least been x-rayed. To have some determination of the causation.\n\nBeing you didn't include your age, there is no way to determine if there is the possibility of loss of bone density in the area.

sounds like she may have Morton's neuroma??  for starters try loosening the laces on shoes or buying wider shoes to no compress the foot so tightly.  there is some simple padding to try also for neuroma pain.  i have a great web site for you to go to for more information on treatment and articles regarding foot conditions.  use the source as a direct link to articles.

The shoes I like best when my feet hurt are called Earth Shoes, you can buy them at your local Walmart, or maybe shoes that have the right arch length for your feet.  I wear New Balance tennis shoes for walking and my feet don't seem to hurt as bad.  Do you stand on your feet for work?  Try to rub your feet around three times a week and use a lotion, also going out and walking barefoot on sand helps to.  They have Shea Butter lotion for feet and it is awesome, the smell is nice to kind of relaxing.  The only other thing I could tell you is to have someone else rub your feet so that you relax even more.  I hope this helps you some.

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/

I believe that maybe it's possible that your problem isn't a foot problem so much as it is a spiritual problem?  Are you stressed?  If you are it appears that you have settled your depression into your foot.  The reason I say this is that I feel as though you are not going in the direction of life that you really want.  And you end up beating yourself for it.  That negative energy ended up in your foot.  For most people it goes into their hearts and that's why so many have heart problems.  Practice letting go of things and just allow the pain to be.  Don't hate the hate because hate only brings about more negative energy.\nMay you be blessed today!

It depends on whats causing the pain. I've learned from experience that some of these machines cause you to stand in unnatural positions. Causing your alignment to be off balance. You are probably using your ankle in a position that is not right for you. Think about it... when your walking or running you dont stand that wide. Could be the shoes. Make sure u have good support. If you are small framed or shorter typed this positioning could definitely be the case.Sounds like your position on the machine is off so keep repositioning yourself on it and see if it continues. If it does speak to your doctor about it or a foot doctor. Be sure to do stretches before and after.Hope you find a solution.Bye.

First of all, don't exercise through pain. It is better to give yourself a rest for a while. But if the pain becomes stronger, contact your doctor immediately! It can be too serious if you don't!

Sounds like plantar fasciitis.  May be related to poor circulation, or poor fitting/supporting footwear.  If you don't smoke or have a problem with GI bleeding or PUD or NSAIDS, or have other co-morbities, you might want to try using ibuprofen for pain.  You might also want to discuss this problem with your primary care doctor.

I usually get this problem during the winter, but for some reason right now have that problem even with wearing regular shoes and it has been like summer for a number of months now.  I recently bought Avon's Foot Works cracked heel relief cream.  It works very well, and also has lidocaine in it so it will help the pain.  I highly recommend it.  I cannot give you a direct webpage at Avon as when I did a search it did not give an exact url.  You can just go to their site and do a search for the name.

It could either be a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which I didn't think would move down to the foot, or a lumbar disk prolapse which could indeed cause the symptoms in the foot. Go see an orthopedic doctor.

Sounds like a neuropathy (nerve impingement).  I have the same thing and it is a diabetic neuropathy.  I know, it does drive you crazy.  I sometime put pressure on it with my other foot or massage it and it helps a little.

Could be a touch of arthritis. Another possibility would be a tight achilles tendon. In either case, I'd recommend two exercise \n\n(1) Put a telephone book (or something similar about 2-3 inches high) on the floor. Place the toes and balls of feet on the book with your heels resting on the floor. Raise yourself up and down about 10 times. This exercise done 2 or 3 times a day will help stretch your achilles tendon.\n\n(2) While sitting or supporting yourself while standing, do simple circles both to the left and right several times throughout the day...and especially before you are going for a walk. This will help warm up the muscles around the ankle before you walk and may help alleviate some (or all) of the pain.
