How to treat foot pain
Deterioration in health affects vital systems in the body, including breathing, circulation... movement. Diseases of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons are a common phenomenon. This is due to the accelerated pace of life, heredity, and a person’s self-care.
Let's look at the causes of foot pain and what happens if you don't deal with it on time.
The first question is: what caused the pain?
Common causes of such pain are fatigue, shoes made of low-quality materials, pinching the foot and toes. Choose your shoes carefully—the health of your feet depends on it. Pain in the foot occurs with frequent, long walking, after running.
The foot consists of twenty bones that are subject to pressure. When walking, the foot softens your steps, helps you push off the ground and move your legs. Foot problems are common.
Second question: what does pain indicate?
The cause of pain is not fatigue or injury - it is a symptom of illness. Pain in the foot varies in location, intensity, and nature. During consultation, doctors find out the cause of the pain.
There are diseases with foot pain:
Flat feet cause swelling, fatigue, stiffness, and widening of the leg. It develops into scoliosis and becomes chronic. If the disease initially develops on the left side of the leg, it later moves to the right.
A bruise is accompanied by pain, swelling at the site of injury, edema, and hematomas on the skin. A serious form is a fracture of the calcaneus.
A sprained or torn ligament – the second manifestation is much more serious. Often expressed by sharp pain, it occurs after running, jumping and race walking. Pain in the foot occurs even in a stationary position.
The causes of pain vary; it is difficult to independently determine the source of inflammation and the nature of the pain.
Third question: how to get rid of it?
The surest way to discover the cause of the disease is to consult a doctor: a neurologist or an orthopedist. Painful sensations in the foot have different causes: problems with the foot (contact an orthopedist), disorders inside the limb: for example, with nerve endings (contact a neurologist).
The doctor will ask which part of the foot hurts: toes, heels, Achilles tendon. Show the place where the discomfort occurs. To determine the cause of pain, doctors need the results of the following tests:
Treatment is prescribed. A conservative method associated with the use of drugs, an operating method, due to technological progress that simplifies the operation with a minimum of pain. The choice of method is made based on the patient’s age, medical history, and body condition.
Clinics often use therapeutic massage, after which the patient feels relief in the foot and relieves tension. Helps after physical activity - running and jumping.
Fourth question: what to do after treatment?
After treatment, a course of rehabilitation will begin - it varies depending on the cause of the pain in the foot. Do not put pressure on the limb, limit use as much as possible. Avoid sports activities - running, jumping, football, basketball. Pay attention to swimming; recovering in water is an excellent way of rehabilitation.
To avoid giving up running for good, switch to jogging. If you add bare feet and grass, the effect will improve. Change your sports shoes every six months. Instead of running, you can walk more.
Do not strain the ligaments, heel, sole, toes, choose your shoes carefully, be healthy. Wear therapeutic insoles, stockings, tights.
Fifth question: what will happen if you don’t pay attention to the pain in time?
The consequences of indifference to pain are problems with the lower limbs, spine, and movement in general. If the disease affects the nerve endings, they lose sensitivity, the person loses the ability to move, and ends up in a wheelchair. There are often cases when the only way out of the situation is amputation of the foot - or both feet.
After the first symptoms of foot discomfort, see a doctor, for your own health, live calmly without pain.
Let's find out what to do and how to treat pain in the feet with folk remedies?
Man is a plantigrade creature. The foot has some of the most important functions .

And therefore the questions “My feet hurt, what to do, how to treat with folk remedies?” — have recently become very relevant.
Why do people prefer to turn to traditional methods of treatment? Firstly, it is not always possible to see a doctor , and painful sensations can greatly complicate life. Secondly, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs have side effects and contraindications. They, of course, relieve attacks of pain and reduce inflammation, but folk remedies can also cope with this. Moreover, they have much fewer contraindications for use. Often they can be used by people even with serious chronic diseases.

- flat feet - wearing special orthopedic shoes is prescribed;
- the injury is treated depending on its nature and severity and requires medical intervention.
The causes of foot pain can be different:
- General foot pain, when the entire foot hurts, is often associated with high load or tension. Such painful sensations may indicate calcium deficiency (ostopathy), osteomalacia and are felt when pressing with a finger on any bone.
- Insufficiency of the musculo-ligamentous apparatus is also the cause of general (diffuse) foot pain. For example, prolonged bed rest or a sharp increase in body weight.
- Osteoporosis, which occurs after injuries and diseases of the bones, joints, soft tissues of the ankle joint and foot, is accompanied by particularly severe pain, as well as loss of ability to support.
- A heel spur is a growth that greatly interferes with a person’s movement. Causes pain when putting weight on the heel. This is a growth from bone tissue in the area of attachment of tendons.
- Corn. This is often the reason why pain appears in the foot area.
- Arthritis, impaired blood supply, compression of the nerves between the toes, deformation of the metatarsal bones. Such pain is caused by nerve damage or metatarsalgia - age-related changes in the foot.
- Gout. As a result of this disease, uric acid is deposited in the joints. It is characterized by severe and sharp pain, aggravated even by touch. There is swelling and increased body temperature in the area of the affected joint.
- Neuroma (neuroma plantaris). Benign growths of nerve tissue. Occurs at the base of the third or fourth toes. More common in women. A person may feel as if there is a stone attached to their foot.

- ?, flat feet, or actively involved in sports, dancing, spending a long time in a standing position (salespeople, hairdressers, etc.) - when neglected, they result in such common diseases as heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, sesamoiditis, Achilles tendinitis and others, ?
- If the top of your foot hurts, then this nuisance causes tension when walking, distracts attention and generally interferes with living a peaceful life.

The answer to this question cannot be unambiguous until you consult a doctor who will make an accurate diagnosis. What doctors deal with such problems? Your assistant for pain in the upper foot (depending on the cause) can be a traumatologist, orthopedist, rheumatologist or surgeon. But first of all, your path lies in the therapist’s office and diagnostic procedures: X-rays, ultrasound, blood tests will help establish an accurate diagnosis.?
- The cause of the discomfort may be a benign tumor of the nervous tissue in the area of the sole of the foot - a neuroma. If it begins to grow, then tingling sensations occur, which intensify and develop into pain.?
?As the cartilage is destroyed and bones are involved in the pathological process with the formation of growths (osteophytes), the pain intensifies. The mobility of the joints is limited, swelling appears, and the fingers gradually become deformed. With ankle arthrosis, there is pain in the upper part of the foot.?
The foot bears the highest load - the weight of the human body. It has a complex structure and performs important functions - support when standing and walking. All the bones of the foot, united into a single elastic structure, play the role of a shock absorber. The sole connects a person to the ground or other surface.?

They did an X-ray again and said there was nothing. The pain gradually went away. It didn’t hurt to walk, but then the foot began to ache a lot and move closer to the toes!?

Therefore, listen carefully to how you feel when buying a new pair of shoes. A little advice: it’s a good idea to buy shoes in the afternoon - by evening your feet will swell a little from the day’s load.

?can occur both when the foot is loaded during walking or physical activity, and at rest.?
- ?As you know, flat feet are a violation of the correct shape of the foot. Flat feet may be congenital, or may appear due to an increase in body weight, overloading of the feet due to a profession that requires a long standing position, due to a decrease in muscle strength with age, or wearing narrow, uncomfortable shoes. Flat feet manifest themselves as follows: the arch of the foot smoothes out and loses its instep, while the relative position of the bones of the foot changes pathologically (they move closer together) and because of this, important nerves and tendons are compressed and ligaments are stretched. A person with flat feet rests on the entire foot, and not just on the outer part. Pain in the foot appears with the further development of flat feet. Flat feet are treated with gymnastics, orthopedic shoes (or insoles), and general strengthening procedures.?

- ?Timely treatment and professional help (sometimes a simple consultation is enough) will avoid complications, expensive treatment, and restore ease of movement and health for many years!?
- ?Contrary to widespread misconception, arthritis and arthrosis are different diseases. They are similar in that in both cases the joints suffer. However, if with arthrosis only the joints hurt, then with arthritis inflammatory processes appear throughout the body. Also, as you know, arthrosis appears with age, and arthritis is typical for the age group under 40 years. The essence of arthritis and arthrosis is that the antibodies produced by the body, for some reason, attack not only pathogenic bacteria, but also the body itself. The heart valves and joints of the arms and legs are attacked. Therefore, pain in the top of the foot may also occur. The affected joints become deformed and destroyed over time. Pain in the affected areas appears not only during movement, but also at rest. Also, the joints begin to crack. To treat arthritis and arthrosis, the doctor prescribes reducing the load on the joints, anti-inflammatory ointments and injections of hormonal agents, physical therapy and diet, and physiotherapy.?

- There is a statement that all problems come from the spine. My experience shows that this is not entirely true. Since most often the spine is an intermediate link in the pathological restructuring of the human musculoskeletal system! But if you say that all problems are from the feet, then I agree with this 85% and problems with the spine are most often associated with the feet. ?
With “marching foot”, it’s the upper part that hurts. The name of the diagnosis is due to the fact that it is most often caused by military marching and is detected in soldiers during the first stages of their service. This disease also appears due to frequent climbing stairs and lifting heavy objects. These loads place unusually strong pressure on the joints and ligaments of the foot, which leads to deformation of the bone structure, which causes pain.?
?Heel spurs are eliminated by massage and wearing special insoles that evenly distribute the load on the foot. In addition, the doctor may prescribe medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for example, Movalis or Diclofenac) are indicated. Sometimes corticosteroid hormones (Diprospan) help. Another treatment method is shock wave therapy. In especially severe cases, surgery is required.?
?If the foot is swollen on top and hurts, it could be a hygroma. This is a benign tumor near the joints - an accumulation of fluid and mucus and pathological impurities. Externally, it is a lump rising above the foot. Appears due to heavy loads or unsuitable, uncomfortable shoes. Over time, it grows and begins to hurt. For the same reasons, a ganglion appears. Only, unlike hygroma, it is an accumulation of nerve cells and fluid, and it forms in the tendon area. These neoplasms, which cause pain on the top of the foot, are treated as follows: the tumor is punctured, its contents are removed, a disinfectant composition is introduced, and then the leg is fixed for some time in one position.?
