foot pain(like walking with a rock in my shoe)help.
Question:
Answers:
You should check your shoe. But after you do, go buy doctor scholl's foot gels. Make sure you go to your doctor, because the feeling may be a sign for bigger problems if the pain doesn't go away.
Other Answers:
you might have a rock in your shoe. did you check that?
you may have developed an uncurable sore on your foot. buy insoles and cut out where foot hurts. it should help relieve pressure.
Could be a heel/bone spur or check your shoes it might just be a rock!
It sounds like you have a bone spur.you should probably go to the doctor and have it checked out.
gout?
I had something like this and it was called a Morton's Neuroma - it is a benign growth which forms on the nerves and is AGONY. Easily operated on for a complete recovery. See your Doctor - good luck!

Personal experience.
you have what are called spurs i would think you need 2 see a foot doctor
You possibly have flat feet i have this it means that your feet dont have as high an arch at the bottom as others do. Just try massaging your feet and it could help relive the pain.

If it is in the heal area it is probably a bone spur, they can be very painful, easiest fix is go to Walmart and buy the best arch supports you can buy and replace them when they get worn. You should notice improvement within a few days to a week.

I have heel spurs
Sounds like you have plantar fasciitis.
When your first few steps out of bed in the morning cause severe pain in the heel of your foot, you may have plantar fasciitis (fashee-EYE-tiss). It's an overuse injury affecting the sole or flexor surface (plantar) of the foot. A diagnosis of plantar fasciitis means you have inflamed the tough, fibrous band of tissue (fascia) connecting your heel bone to the base of your toes.
You're more likely to get the condition if you're a woman, if you're overweight, or if you have a job that requires a lot of walking or standing on hard surfaces. You're also at risk if you walk or run for exercise, especially if you have tight calf muscles that limit how far you can flex your ankles. People with very flat feet or very high arches are also more prone to plantar fasciitis.
The condition starts gradually with mild pain at the heel bone often referred to as a stone bruise. You're more likely to feel it after (not during) exercise. The pain classically occurs again after arising from a midday lunch break.
If you don't treat plantar fasciitis, it may become a chronic condition. You may not be able to keep up your level of activity and you may also develop symptoms of foot, knee, hip and back problems because of the way plantar fasciitis changes the way you walk.
Treatments
Rest is the first treatment for plantar fasciitis. Try to keep weight off your foot until the inflammation goes away. You can also apply ice to the sore area for 20 minutes three or four times a day to relieve your symptoms. Often a doctor will prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. A program of home exercises to stretch your Achilles tendon and plantar fascia are the mainstay of treating the condition and lessening the chance of recurrence.
In one exercise, you lean forward against a wall with one knee straight and heel on the ground. Your other knee is bent. Your heel cord and foot arch stretch as you lean. Hold for 10 seconds, relax and straighten up. Repeat 20 times for each sore heel.
In the second exercise, you lean forward onto a countertop, spreading your feet apart with one foot in front of the other. Flex your knees and squat down, keeping your heels on the ground as long as possible. Your heel cords and foot arches will stretch as the heels come up in the stretch. Hold for 10 seconds, relax and straighten up. Repeat 20 times.
About 90 percent of people with plantar fasciitis improve significantly after two months of initial treatment. You may be advised to use shoes with shock-absorbing soles or fitted with a standard orthotic device like a rubber heel pad. Your foot may be taped into a specific position.
If your plantar fasciitis continues after a few months of conservative treatment, your doctor may inject your heel with steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (corticosteroid). If you still have symptoms, you may need to wear a walking cast for 2-3 weeks or positional splint when you sleep. In a few cases, you might need surgery to release your ligament.
Good Luck!
I knew a person who was diabetic once. The only reason he went in and got checked for diabetes was becuase he constantly felt like he had a rock in his shoe and it was causing him problems.
Check with a podiatrist (foot doctor) to be sure it isn't something serious.
I just went for foot pain that felt like I had small pellets in my shoe. Turned out to be blocked ducts (inward callous) or something like that in the ball of the foot. The doctor sanded away the callous in that area and walking feels better already.
He recommended coating the sole of the foot in vaseline and wear an old pair of socks. That softens the callous.
I agree completely with Tinkerbell. I am being treated for the same foot problem now, and just wanted to add:
Dr Scholl's: This is the best relief so far, I went to Walmart and bought a pair of tennis shoes that have arch supports, gel inserts and shock absorber's..I honestly do not know if I would be walking right now if not for these shoes! They are only about $40.00, and look like normal black tinnies.money well worth being spent.
Take a bottle of water and freeze it (Or uses frozen juice can) roll your heel over the can. This will both help with the swelling and help to work the heel. Do this for about 10 minutes as often as possible resting at least 30 minutes between. This was the most helpful exercises, and the most practical seeing how I have a "desk job".
I suffered for a month before seeing a doctor. You do not want to do that to yourself! See a doctor as soon as possible. Many foot specialists need for you to be referred. See your family doctor, and tell her/him what you suspect is wrong so they can evaluate you.
From one person with a rock in her shoe to another GOOD LUCK and Get well soon!
