Pain in my Feet

Post Reply New Topic

I been getting pain in my feet since in my late 20s, now, my feet can get numb & the top of my feet (the bones) can crack & I'm in alot of pain, I can't even move or if I'm taking out the trash or doing something else, I will walk with a limp. When I was born, I was born with weak muscles & weak ankles, when I became a toddler, I couldn't walk, I was in a wheelchair for a while, I remember being 3 years old & in physical therapy, I walk with braces on my legs, I would not give up learning to walk. I wonder with pain in my feet have to do with having weak ankles, I can still get a little pain in my ankles. I know I have to go see a foot doctor.

My sides of my feet goes outward, I had to wear arch support, my mom paid over $100 for custom arch supports & shoes. One of my foot goes out of my shoe. Why do I need surgery?

I have problems with both my feet. My left foot is twisted outward about 10° and my right foot is twisted outward about 30° or so. My right foot has a few bone tumors from a genetic disease I have that have fused two toe bones together so the bones can't move seperately. I walk on the side of my foot. This has caused arthritis in the joint in my right foot where all the toes connect to.

I am having surgery in that foot to remove the tumors and I take Tylenol for the arthritis. I also have custom orthodics in my shoes. But another pain management technique I use is to roll my feet on a massage roller to loosen up the muscles. Tight muscles probably play a role in the pain you are experiecing and are relatively easy to loosen up by standing on and rolling your feet on something like this.

See insoles never worked for me. My problem was, I had a joint loose in both feet causing my feet to flatten. I had what they call "rigid" flat feet.

Both my feet turn out about 30 or so degrees. I usually walk on my toes too. I have a short Achilles tendon, and I'm meant to stretch it more and not walk on my toes, but I've done it since birth and I'm 16 now, and wearing splints everywhere is just terrible, especially in bed, can't get to sleep like that, although I can stand and walk on flat feet now. I still don't have the full range of movement of normal people, but I can do most movements daily life requires, it's just habit of toe-walking now really, although I'm not far on my toes like I used to be, my heel does make contact with the ground in walking usually, and its only occasionally I go far up onto my toes again.

Funnily enough, the fixed-angle splints I'd ended up working out how to walk on my toes in. Then they got ones with some rather clever hinge fitted in (kudos to the engineers of those things, I've no idea how they managed to work).

Oh gosh, I have somewhat of the same thing and I am supposed to get surgery sometime this year. I am having to wear a brace, for a month, on my left foot because I have an injury which never healed properly. It is rather upsetting because I can't get much exercise (which I enjoy doing so)..
