If your doctor can't figure it out, it is unlikely anyone here can unless your doc is really not a very good one.  What comes to mind is shin splints and/or heel spurs.

Please tell me more about your general health through the form on this weblink http://www.jentleearthhealing.com/medherb.html and I will try to help you out.\n\nI suspect it is from a build up of toxins that can present as calcium build up in the bottom of the foot. Reflexology is great for remedying this but I will not know if this is the case till I talk to you further.\n\nCraig - Naturopath

a podiatrist is a good choice for your problem.  if you would like to do some research ahead of going for visit, it sounds like you may have plantar fasciitis along with CT band syndrome.  i have a great site for you to check out regarding foot conditions, myfootshop.com. use the source as direct link to site

Sounds like it might be plantar fascitis. I had that. It's an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. I ended up getting inserts for my shoes and had to do stretching and strengthening exercises. And don't climb round rung ladders!

Warm up thoroughly, wear good running shoes, toe taps are good for strengthening shins. Get a coach to check your stride. If that doesn't work see a sports physiotherapist\nfor a diagnosis.

Ouch sweetie poor you, I know how much that really hurts, I get this due to illness. Firstly I would go see you Medical Officer, and then have a chat with your Commanding Officer, I have friends in the military and one had a back problem at the time of his PT test, it really took it out of him and he did fail it, but with the backing of his medical officer he re-tested a little while later and passed.\nWhen I had shin splints, now not sure if you are in the UK or the USA, but in the UK you can get a gel in a tube called Voltarol, with is brill for muscular pain, and also Deep Heat again really good stuff. But I had some stuff brought for me made by a company called WELEDA - massage balm with Arnica, its for muscular and rheumatic pain, now I have a muscular skeletal disease, and trust me this stuff works wonders, smells quite a bit but not unpleasant and has relaxing properties too.\nAlso put your feet up whenever you can and rest your shins as much as possible.\nHave you got your results for the other thing back yet?\nTake care Hun, thinking of you ;-)\n\nOh Dr Know It All.... you so obviously don't, and well Miss Perfect if that's an attempt at humor.... don't give up the day job love!!

Burning pain is almost always neurological. Do you have diabetes? If yes, it could be neuropathy. Does you left foot hurt worse than your right? You could have two separate things going on, that are unrelated. The hip and leg pain could be arthritis, sciatica, low back nerve impingement, or any number of problems. See another doctor. If the ones you have seen have not given you any kind of diagnosis, then keep looking until you find you who will get to the bottom of your problem, or if you really trust one of the doctors you have already seen, then go back to him. Tell the doctor what's going on and that you want tests to find out what's causing this problem, and if he can do the tests, you want a referral to a specialist. Good luck.

It's hard to tell exactly without examining you since your discription of the location of your pain doesn't give me a good idea as to exactly where your pain is, so it's tough to diagnose this way.\n\nWhat I can suggest is starting with an activity that you can perform 100% painfree, preferably as close to running as possible.  If it's jogging, then start there ... or if it's only walking then that's okay too.  I would also recommend doing it on a treadmill initially since you can control the incline and the speed.  Then GRADUALLY start increasing the speed each week ...  but be sure to keep everything painfree. This may take a long time to get you back to running eventually, but that's okay.\n\nTwo more suggestions.  First, make sure you stretch both your calves and your anterior tibialis AFTER exercsing,  Second, a lot of times shin splints is caused by a muscular imbalance between the calves and the anterior tib's, so even if the muscle on the front of the lower leg are strong, they still might be being overpowered by the calves.

You can't guarantee the credentials of anyone responding here. My best advice is to go back to the doctors and seek a second opinion if necessary. Only proper diagnosis will be able to determine what is wrong with you and what can be done. Remember too that medicine is constantly developing and there may be new products/solutions. I recently had treatment for severe pains and am so glad that I got something done about it. I do hope that you succeed in getting your health problems resolved. Best of luck

I would see a Neurologist for this issue.  Or you may have athletes foot.  See a doctor.

Go to a doctor. Please.\nThey'll tell you exactly what's wrong, and you may have to go to physical therapy... unless it's something more serious.\nBut just trust me on the doctor thing.

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.

It's difficult to diagnose your symptoms without proper testing.\nGo see your doc and get a check-up.
