ask: Pain in my left foot makes it unbearable to walk on it

By Anonymous July 31, 2009 - 8:15am

I had been doing a work out a few weeks ago and up till this week I could walk no problem. This week, however, it has become painful to walk on my whole foot, with the pain being in the middle to left of my left foot. I can't work out because I can't put any pressure on it. I've been walking on my tippy toes for the past few days and that seems to make it bearable to walk, but when I finally have to put my whole foot down it is simply painful. No visible signs of anything; No bruising, no redness, I don't feel sick, it's just the foot.

Any ideas of what the problem is or how to help it?

Thanks!

Hi Anon

Thanks for your post!

Unfortunately, as in many cases, you will need to be examined by a doctor to know what's going in. Feet are very complicated and your issue could be anything from a break or fracture, to torn cartillage or tendons. Please make an appointment soon!

Hi Anon

Unfortunately, you will need to have an examination done to gauge any damage to your foot, or what may have happened. You may have stood on something or damaged a nerve somehow. If you don't see an improvement in the next few days, contact your doctor.

Best,

I think you may be having a condition call plantar fasciitis.

I have severe pain in my left foot close to where my heel is situated. No visible swelling but it makes it unbearable to walk on. I did some research by looking at reflexology foot chart. It appears to be the tortuous sigmoid colon that is affected. My wife is a health fundi and is treating me currently. You need to stay away from wheat and dairy as well. Will let you know how it is going. Jaques from Cape Town.
