Eventually, your behavior will result in your no longer being able to walk.  It's you who don't seem to understand this.  You cannot perform the type of work you do anymore.  Now, you could either quit now and find another job that you CAN do.  Or you can ignore your doctor, collapse sometime over the next few weeks, spend time in the hospital followed by weeks on crutches and maybe walk with a limp for the rest of your life.\n\nSheesh.

Unfortunately, I understand AND believe you.  I have a hard-to-diagnose condition that took me 16 doctors and 15 years to resolve.\n\nMany doctors have such huge egos that they assume that if THEY don't know the answer, that there ISN'T an answer, and therefore it's "all in your mind."\n\nDon't put up with this poppycock.  Find another neuro whose knowledge base is bigger than his ego.

It sounds like it might be a tendon issue.  Use RICE - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.  If it hasn't started to feel at least a little better within a couple of days, make sure and go to the doctor, you might have to be splinted or use crutches for awhile.  Good luck!

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!!

Probably because a nerve is being pinched, but it could be something more serious. I think it would indeed be well to check with a physician. It is simply good sense.

Sounds like shin splints.  You probably don't need to go to the doctor.  You should stay off your feet awhile, and use a cortisone cream on them.  Take an anti-inflammatory med, unless you have any medical condition which would make that unwise.  If they don't feel better with 3-4 days of relative ease, go to the doctor.  \nIf you're going to play softball and tennis regularly, make sure you're wearing good shoes that are designed for those specific uses, and stretch beforehand.

Sorry, no one can diagnose you based on a description.  Go see a doctor and then, not only can you be diagnosed, you can be treated...properly.

A friend of mine had something similar but went to the doctors and got it sorted , I can't remeber what it was but he must go to his GP !!

It sounds like you need to see an Orthopedic Doctor who will probably recommend Physical Therapy (which helps most people).  Your problem sounds like a herniated disc which can be helped with PT and medicine.  Bengay also helps for some immediate relief.  If the Doctor who ordered the MRI was an Orthopedic Doctor, get a second opinion.\n\nhttp://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/d_difference/diff01.html\n\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/low_back_pain/article.htm

I am not an expert but when my foot hurt like that it turned black and I had to wear a cast on my leg for 6-8 weeks. It turned out I had not only pulled one tendon but I had also tore one or two tendons on top of that. This happened a year ago when I was in the sixth grade. If it continues to hurt I would consult a physician. I hope your foot gets better and notify me to tell me what is actually wrong with it. It could be what happened to my foot but there are some other possibilities. Again hope you get better!!!

Could be carpel tunnel syndrome, get it looked at by another doctor...;

I suggest taking the time to discuss this with your doctor.  Don't allow yourself to be rushed out of the office.  You are paying for his time, and his job is to answer any questions and describe what the problem is fully so you understand it.  Perhaps you should make another appointment, just to talk.  \nThat would be the best thing to do.  Good Luck.

While it may only be a tendon or ligament that has partially broke, I would still go get checked out by a doctor only because if it is something terrible, it is better to find out early and receive proper medical care.\n\nEspecially where it is located, you wouldn't want to have it hurt you the rest of your life or in old age if it could have been avoided with a simple visit. \n\nI assume the doctor will tell you to stay off it and let it heal, but you never know if more is needed.

It could be sciatica.  It occurs quite often and often goes undiagnosed for many years.  I recommend you get a doctor's opinion though as this is just my two cents.

A podiatrist (specialized foot doctor) could probably help you out.  There are many kinds of heel pain and the podiatrist can take x-rays of your heel to see if there's anything wrong, give medications, teach you stretching exercises, fit you for custom foot supports, etc.  One exercise for example is to support yourself against a wall, step back with the affected foot, and stretch out the achilles tendon (that tendon right above your heel).  Of course, the proper treatment will have to depend on the reason for the heel pain.

If you mouse a lot or have other repetitive motions, this is a sign that your muscles and tendons may be overstrained.  Please see a doctor asap for medical treatment.  I waited too long and....OUCH!

Could be a cyst, they usually resolve themselves but sometimes you have to have surgery to remove them. If they rupture believe me you'll know, this hurts really bad.If I was you, I would insist that the doctor run more tests (ultrasound). Keep on him until you feel satisfied, if he doesn't want to help you find a new doctor. You should not be in pain all the time.
