This is kind of hard to explain. I am a Housekeeper and I am on my feet all day 5 days a week. A few weeks ago I began getting severe pains in the bottoms of my feet. My right one is the worst. Now it is to the point of Not even being able to put my body weight on it. I still go to work everyday and do my normal work day. By the time I get off work the Severe pain comes back in my feet. I limp every where because I cant put weight on my Right Foot. Also Now I am getting the Pain up into My Right Ankle now. Help! What could be wrong?
I have rested My feet on Every day off I have but it doesn't help!
Answer:
It sounds like it's probably plantar faciatis. The plantar fascia runs along the bottom of the foot and can get inflamed and painful for a few reasons like high arches, flat feel, wearing cheap shoes that lack good support. If you don't want to see a podiatrist right away for custom shoe inserts you can try some things first. Pick up inserts with arch support from your local cvs/walgreens (dr. schols are good ones). Twice a day put 2 cold cans of soda on the floor and roll them back and forth using the entire length of your foot (this stretches and helps with inflammation). Stretch your calves daily as well. If after doing this for a week you still are not feeling better you will have to see a podiatrist. Good luck.
It sounds like gout, see your doctor, there are medications.
I am on my feet all day at my work also. I had very similar pain and the Doctor had me put Heel Cups in my shoes and take Advil for a few days. The pain went away in about a week
I keep the heal cups in all the time I am working now.
Gout normally strikes near the big toe, and it's a result of a long-term high-Purine diet (beans, lentils, organ meats, shellfish, etc.). You can make sure of it by getting a Uric Acid test. Too much U.A. in your blood? You have gout. Yes, there is medication for it, so it's a waste of pain. A few days of 300mg Allopurinol (your doctor will prescribe it for you if your blood test shows you need it) and you''ll be OK, BUT you need to take it for a few weeks probably, AND modify your diet.Another possibility is a "Heel Spur". This is pain in the heel from a hardened heel tendon (I believe). Can't tell you much more about that.WebMD has a symptom checker if you want to go through it.
