Question: Foot pain, what's causing it and how can I relieve it? Hopefully in time for tomorrow morning?
I don't know how to explain the nature of the pain...it's kind of sharp, not like a dull ache. It's only when I'm walking on it; when I'm not putting any weight on it it doesn't hurt. But it makes it hard to walk normally.
It's on the right edge of my right foot (the side with the pinky toe), slightly towards the sole, but mostly just on the side. It feels like perhaps it's got something to do with my ankle...but I don't know.
I wish I could explain it better, but that's the best I can do.
It doesn't look red or swollen or anything...it looks perfectly normal, it just HURTS.
Tomorrow morning I'm going hiking, and I really love hiking so I'd hate to miss it, but I don't know if I can do it with my foot in this condition...is there any way at all that I can relieve the pain just for the hike?
Also, what might be causing it? I have no clue where to even start looking for answers...so if you can point me in the right direction, that would be great...I'd love to know what's going on here.
Answers:
Unfortunately it could be many things. I suspect though that it will be self limiting.
Have you been wearing a new pair of shoes?
What type of shoes do you mainly wear?
Are you a runner?
Has their been any unwanted impact to the foot, even if you didn't think it significant at the time?
I would be careful with hiking tomorrow. Rest, ice and elevate the foot today, see if there is any improvement in the morning.
Don't hike through a lot of pain. It may aggravate a minor problem.
