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 -

It's most probably shin splints.  From my own experiences, it could be caused by overusing a pair of sneakers, doing too much running on a harder surface when switching from a softer one, or running much harder than I'm used to.  When I got them, the only way to make them go away (as much as I hated it) was to rest my legs for a week or two until the pain was completely gone, and then slowly start up again.

That's plantar fascitis which means inflammationn of the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot. Reducing inflammation and easing stress on the fascia is the cure. Taking ibuprofen and adding heel pads to well made shoes such as walking shoes and wearing them all the time should help.

If your certain your not diabetic than it is time to see a Dr. and get a referal to a specialist.\nWhat you describe suggests reduced circulation and there are many conditions that this symptom can be attributed to.\n\nNeuropathy or the pain from it responds well to a med called Neurontin.\nBut I am guessing you have been treated since you seem to know the name of your condition?\n\nThis could be anything from wearing tight heels to a vascular/heart condition.\nPlease pursue this with your doctor.

I don't know...but I have had that situation several times. Normally from doing some different activity. For instance, when I moved at work I thought it would be a good idea (fitness wise) to use the steps more, visiting my friends four floors up. Well, I must have done that 5 times that day, walking up and down the stairs which I had not been doing.\n\nThe next two days my thighs and calves tightened up, hurt like all get out. So maybe this kind of activity started your pains.

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.

Crystal, get to a doctor as soon as possible.  This sounds like it could be the start of nerve damage in your foot.  We diabetics have to be on the lookout for numbness or tingling in the extremities---they can be signs of problems with our sugar levels.  Are you following a sensible diet, exercising and checking your sugar regularly?  Let me know, if you would, how the doctor's visit goes---just post some details.  Good luck!

If you are having a bad pain in your foot, that means that the nerves there are responding to stimuli. Go see a doctor and ask him. There's a far, far, far outside chance that you could be getting feeling back

If this is in your right leg, kind of toward the outside and wraps around to the ankle, especially in the upper leg.\n\n   I would guess it's a pinched nerve from your back. Have you done anything lately, pulled something heavy, lifted something real heavy. You did something over the last couple of days to have this happen.\n\n   Your toes or feet might start burning. I think you'd better see a doctor now before it gets out of control, you'll have pain you won't forget, you'll have to have something for it.

I have the same problem, hurts on the side of my heel.  Hard to walk when I get up, but noticed the more I walk the less it hurts.  Dr. said it was tendonitis.  It was beginning to affect my calves as well, but I think that was more from changing my walking patterns to avoid the pain.  Just keep stretching your foot and rubbing it before you put weight on it.  Heat also helps.  If it gets severe, they can do surgery with a tendon lengthening, but try other alternatives first.  Might be bone spurs.  Some chiropractors can help with that by using ultrasound treatments.  Also cortisone injections help and make you feel like you're walking on cotton balls, but the injection itself hurts pretty bad, then total relieve for about a week then right back where you started.  See a doc if it doesn't resolve.  Mine went away on its on after about 3 weeks and after I bought a new pair of tennis shoes and wore them even in the house.  Don't go barefooted!  Hope this helped!!

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?

Well, I have 2 of them!  Seriously, you could have neuropathy.\nSymptoms depend on the type of neuropathy and which nerves are affected. Some people have no symptoms at all. For others, numbness, tingling, or pain in the feet is often the first sign. A person can experience both pain and numbness. Often, symptoms are minor at first, and since most nerve damage occurs over several years, mild cases may go unnoticed for a long time. Symptoms may involve the sensory or motor nervous system, as well as the involuntary (autonomic) nervous system. In some people, mainly those with focal neuropathy, the onset of pain may be sudden and severe.\nSymptoms may include numbness, tingling, or pain in the toes, feet, legs, hands, arms, and fingers.\nSometimes, diabetes causes neuropathy.\nMy husband takes Neurontin for his burning feet and he is not diabetic.\nI would see a doctor if this continues.
