Pain in the feet.


Posted: Mar 18, 2013

I have recently begun to have sever foot pain.  It is almost like a cramp but it seems to be coming from the FDL.  Thankfully it has only been in 1 foot  at a time.  Anybody else out there had any thing like this?

Foot pain - See Msg

[ In Reply To ..]
I had a pain in the top of my feet (assuming that's where you mean) and it was my new sneakers. It would appear that when I walked, the top of the sneaker was pressing that area too much. It wasn't really a cramp, though, it was just a pain. Nothing stiffened up.

If you recently got a new pair of walking shoes, try changing them to another pair and see if that helps.

It is in the top of my foot, to the outside of the foot just below the ankle. It is a severe pain that lasts anywhere from just a min or two all the way up to 10 mins or so. It feels kindof like a cramp but not exactly.

It happens on days when I don't even wear shoes. Mostly starts while I am at rest, like the other night just before I posted the original message. I was laying in bed reading. :(

Help Me With My Feet! They Hurt So Bad, Are Soo Dry, AndJun 03, 2011
I have cracked heels that bleed and hurt extremely bad.  I also have cracking up the outside of my foot as well.  I have used foot fungus creams and sprays.  I have used that Miracle Foot Repair and many, many different lotions and moisturizers.  I use a callus shaver to shave the hard dry skin off my heels and then moisturize, but it doesn't help at all.  It gets really bad in the summer when I start wearing flip flops a lot.  It seems my heels get worse with ...

Cold FeetJan 14, 2016
I am reaching out to my fellow MT's to ask what to do about my cold feet.  This time of year my feet get extremely cold while I type all day.  I have never typed in shoes, and really cannot because I can't feel the difference in the pedals.  If I wear shoes I end up backspacing or forwarding all the time.  I can wear house shoes with a very soft, flexible sole most of the time, but my feet freeze this time of year.  Any suggestions?  ...

Feet Issues- For YearsAug 22, 2013
I have no idea where to go to get some help for myself. I have tried every single speciality that I thought perhaps could help but this has been going on for over 10 years now and no help. Tried ortho, podiatry, neurologist, nerve conduction studies, x-rays, MRIs, nothing found and no treatment and still going on. If not for Birkie's, have no clue what I would do but still feet aching. My left foot used to have electrical current that would hit, only when walking, never at night. That elect ...

Is Trump Really Trying To Hold Their Feet Jul 23, 2015
So, if Repubs don't treat him "right," he may run 3rd party.  Where would that 24% (I think that is the highest I have seen) get him?  Nowhere, but it would destroy the Repub's chances.  That's 24% of their own.  Unlike Bernie, I haven't seen any articles that show any party-crossing for Trump...not a single Democrat voting for him.  Oh, there must be someone, sure... So wil the Repubs let him run with it?  The only silver lining is that this i ...

I went with whomever it was that suggested Surgeon's Secret.  I bought some of that.  Plus I bought a pair of "Heelies" which are these little heel socks that have a gel lining along the heel that infuse minerals and oils into your skin.  My feet get really hot and I don't like to sleep in socks and these only cover the heels and halfway up the foot.  I L-O-V-E them!  During the day when I'm working, I've been using the Surgeon's Secret all over ...

PainJan 25, 2010
Hey, m'lovely MT sisters, I suspect I have bursitis in my right shoulder.  It started as pain in my right arm biceps area and I had an odd rash in the area, so to be honest I was afraid it might have been shingles (never had them, but heard they're very painful). Ladies, it's been about 6 weeks and it's still freakling painful, but I believe I was wrong on precisely where the pain was originating.  I believe it's emanating at my right shoulder joint.  I&# ...

Leg PainDec 05, 2013
For the last couple weeks, whenever I go to bed, if I am on my back or side, I awaken several times with pain in my right calf and knee, if I turn on my stomach it goes away.  The first couple hours I am up in the morning it is painful, cannot put my right leg over my left, cannot cross my leg to put on my shoes because it immediately causes a sharp pain to shoot through my leg.  Cannot bend over because of the same.  After moving around about two hours it is okay pretty much the ...

This is different from the butt/back side of my hip p ...

Do you ever wonder why the gas prices are up and down?  There is still about the same amount of gas out there (although it is a finite resouce that is going away) and we are still using about the same, more or less, with our more efficient vehicles. The price fluctuates because the Wall Street traders can make it fluctuate.  They do this so they can make money.  In 2008, (Bush Administration, by the way) the prices were over $4.00 a gallon.  The Obama administratio ...

Wrist Pain, Not CTSDec 25, 2010
I'm once again having wrist pain in my dominant hand which is worse at the end of my shift.  I took a week off to completely rest it and it helps, but it still hurts whenever I most my thumb, at the base into the top of the radius.  Does anyone have this problem?  I had carpal tunnel surgery 10 years ago, but don't have the same numbness as I did before that surgery.  I tried switching my mouse to the left hand, but it still hurts especially whenever I use the space ...
