My feet are really sore?!


Question: My feet are really sore?
why does my feet hurt?

Answers:

There are many causes of foot pain, but when most people talk about foot pain they are describing symptoms that cause pain under the "ball of the foot." When foot pain occurs under the ball of the foot, the medical term is metatarsalgia.
Metatarsalgia occurs in the region between the arch and the toes. The medical term for foot pain, metatarsalgia, come from the name of the bones that are in this part of the foot: the metatarsals. The metatarsals are long bones at the base of each toe. Sometimes pressure on the ends of the metatarsal bones cause symptoms in the ball of the feet.
Foot pain can be caused by increased pressure on the metatarsal heads. This can be due to constricting foot wear or high heel shoes. If you have pain under the ball of your foot, try wearing shoes that have a wider toe box.
Other conditions that can cause foot pain include ligament injuries and joint irritation. These problems can also be relieved with more accommodating footwear.
Treatment of foot pain often consists of anti-inflammatory medications, footwear modifications, and inserts for your shoes. Also soaking your sore feet in warm water with Epsom salt. Check with you podiatrist or pharmacist for diagnosis and treatment.
I hope this helps you. And good luck.
