never ending pain in foot
by Karen
I have had xrays,and they dont show anything wrong.But for the last year I have had constant aching in my foot,and its at the point now ,where I rarely can sleep because it is SO much worse at night.The best way to describe the non stop aching is,that its a dull ache and it feels like its my whole foot.It doesnt hurt half as much when I have shoes on or as long as I am moving.I find it very difficult to walk on that foot without shoes.And it hurts more when I am just standing in place,or sitting,but definetly the very worse at night in bed.And no matter what I do,I cannot get comfortable enough to sleep.PLEASE help! I only got 1 hr. of sleep all night last night.Thank you!!! Hi Karen, I am probably stating the obvious when I say your foot needs further investigation. An x-ray alone is sometimes not enough to rule out pathology. Your next step would be an MRI. I do not know your age, or occupation, or anything else about your medical history but a constant aching in the foot, going on for a year, you need to rule out other sources of the pain such as neurological and vascular. Be proactive about your problem, see a foot specialist and let he or she work you up covering all aspects of the potential source of your pain. Pain for over a year is not normal. Marc Mitnick DPM
