I have been experience pain in my left foot mostly. If I just get up and walk in the morning or if I sit?


Question:
cross legged for a short time and get up and walk it is very sore. I don't wear high heals very often. This seems like more than getting older (I'm 33). Any ideas? I haven't sprained it or anything.

Answers:
The foot is the most abused and least cared for part of the body. It is not unusual for any one of the many bones in the foot to be misaligned and create pressure in the joint. That irritation causes edema within the capsule around that joint and can become very painful.. Left untreated or placed back in its proper position can allow crystalization within the joint . Again creating pain. Left untreated, those crystals will amalgamate and create a frozen joint.

If you have a tennis ball or a medium sized bottle, roll your foot over it several times and see if you don't get relief..Should that not work, best have an xray to determine the cause of the problem. Some chiropractors do foot manipulation, as may be indicated in this instance.

Other Answers:
consult your family doctor it might be something serious
i have a similar problem in my left foot too. its possible that you have tendonitis or the beginnings of arthritis in your food. you should get it checked out before it becomes chronic pain.
Bad blood circulation could be the answer; try walking a mile each day or 1/2
Sitting crossed legged may be cutting off ur circulation. U may wanna consider seeing a podiatrist or orthopedic Dr. if the problem persists.
Three ideas from someone whose had a lot of heel pain:

1. weak muscles in the lower part of your leg
2. plantar faciitis
3. heel spur

This is assuming your foot pain is in the heel.
Have your back checked out. One of the symptoms of sciatica is foot pain. The sciatic nerve runs all the way from your lower back to the bottom of your foot.
If the pain is near the heel of your foot, it is most likely due to an inflamed heel bone spur. It is fairly common. A foot doc can diagnose via xray. Initial treatment is with cortisone shots to ease the inflammation. If the pain is elsewhere on your foot, I can only suggest you have it checked out medically.
Bad circulation can cause this, never sit cross legged it makes it worse. Sometimes called claudication, see your doctor sometimes this indicates the start of a more serious condition. Good Luck!! 33 is not old ,lol
I know with me, it was a case of plantar fascitis (I think that is how you spell it). Basically it means that my tendon is ripping away from my heal and causing me to have a falling arch. It is really painful at times. I had to have a couple shots of steroids to get it under control, and now I have to take very good care of my foot. In any case, I would strongly recommend that you see a foot Dr. about this, cause if you allow it to get worse, there might not be anything that they can do about it....
You may possibly have a stress fracture that does not have to be caused by a traumatic injury or you could have gout.
