Mystery Foot Ailment: What is it?
365081
Did you try a Podiatrist?\nMay be able to recommend a simple cure with some inside shoe support or different shoe.  This is an experience thing, so a foot specialist would be better.  Kind of like you go to Opthalmologist if your eye is always hurting, not just the regular doctor.\n\nIf it's Plantar fasciitis, for example, a simple heel support in your shoe helps you to get over this condition.\n\nWhen the condition hits, keep a careful record of what is difficult.  Can you stand on your tip toes?  Both feet?  Only one side?  Cold water makes it hurt more?  Write down every possible thing you can think of.  Take it with you to the doctor.  Include duration of difficulty, what activities you were engaged in when it started, etc.\n\nIf you live in Canada, see if Robaxasil (over-the-counter) helps with the pain.  If you can't take aspirin, there is another one called Robaxacet, I think.\n\nAnother thing:  Do you go barefoot at times?  Have you walked on broken glass?  Is an embedded sliver a possibliity?

If you have problems with recurring Athlete's foot infections, you may want to see a specialist.  Consistent infections can lead to it spreading to other parts of your feet causing dermatitis, and even worse start cause toenail problems down the road.  You probably need stronger medication than what is over the counter.  Where looser shoes, change your socks when you get home, and wear sandals as often as you can, and if your feet itch, wash them and then medicate them.\n\nTo answer your question, maybe purchasing the medication online would be cheaper, or if you buy more than 1 at a time.

People, such as the Japanese, Chinese, ancient Egyptians believe that the condition of the feet is linked to other very serious bodily ailments. These people from the earliest times knew the secrets of feet care and remedies of other illnesses connected with problems of the feet.

Go to the doctor.  It could be any number of things and no one here cand diagnosis it.  Sounds like a nerve problem (NOT poor circulation IMHO) that may be associated with diabetis, lupus, or some other serious health condition.  PLEASE go see a doctor!

You may be having some circulation problems.  I would suggest that you see a doctor as soon as you can.  Especially if the foot that is cold is very white, turning blue or you are loosing feeling in it.  It could be very serious.

It's probably athlete's foot (which is a fugus).  You can get foot spray at the drugstore to help it go away.  If you are showering in a public shower or tub that is shared, you may have gotten it there, so wear flip flops while you shower so you won't re-infect.\ngood luck

I had a similar problem with my feet.  I kept treating it for athlete’s foot.  I went to the doctor for help, and they treated me for a nerve disorder as they saw no signs of athlete’s foot.  Finally after that didn't work, an allergy Doc put me on antihistamines.   Problem solved.  Can't say that is your thing, but it is something to try.

That's called Mortens toe. Don't know why it happens.

Do you have athelete's foot (foot fungus)? It sounds like it may be that. Perhaps you need an antifungal cream. Consult your doctor.

my guess is plantar fasciitis.  i have a great website for you to check out regarding foot conditions and care, myfootshop.com.  for the heel pain the treatment is quite simple, you need to place 3/8 inch heel lifts into shoes, not a cushion, do not go barefoot and try simple stretches on the stairs with toes on edge and dropping heels below stair height.  go to the site these are all outlined there. use the source as direct link to site

These foot problems occur because of the body’s inability to provide natural oils and moisture to the area and the skin’s reduced capacity to retain moisture. Research shows that the problem has a variety of causes including aging, inactive sweat glands, inadequate water intake, poor eating habits, harsh chemical/detergent based soaps, obesity, long periods of standing, and exposure to weather via open backed shoes and sandals.    You need to find some kind of mouistuerizing salve to replinish the cracks in your feet. My mother has the same thing. She uses some kind of salve that is for cows utters ( i know it's weird but it works for her)  Hope you find something useful and relieving.

Sometimes if you have too much pressure, like being a little over weight or being on your feet too long.  It will eventually go away if not check with a foot doctor.

It could be exzma, which isn't an infection, but needs hydrocortisone cream ( over the counter).  It could also be from wearing wet socks.  Keeping your feet aired and dry is important.  If it itches or gets red, see your doctor.  Hope this helps

Why would you seek answers from here?  This is definitely a condition requiring immediate medical attention.  Infections can lead to multi-system infections.  If it is severe and left untreated, it could lead to the loss of your foot, infection in your blood stream, need I go on?  If insurance or finances are an issue, go to the ER of your local hospital, they can direct you to services for medical assistance to pay the bill.  \nThe longer you wait, the more serious this issue will become for you.  It isn't going to go away on its own.

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.
