Cause of knee and foot pain?!


Question: Cause of knee and foot pain?
OK. I have this bad pain that keeps moving on me it seems like every 2-3 days. It was in my left knee for a couple of weeks. Then it moved over to the back and side of my right knee and ligaments around the knee. Now it is centered on the top of my right foot and the pain is especially bad in the heel of my right foot. I no longer have insurance so I haven't been to the doctor. I've been diagnosed with gout in the past, but it usually remains in the ball and big toe of my foot. Does anyone know what could possibly be causing this weird movement of pain in my knees and feet?

Answers:

My guess would be that you are walking strangely to reduce the pain in your knee, which is causing the pain to "move" to other areas as you damage those places with your changed gait. As to what caused or is causing the initial pain, you really need to see a doctor for that.



Slow onset without any clear cause. May be due to muscles tightening slowly over many years.
