- 12 days ago
Foot pain is a fairly common syndrome that can make everyday tasks difficult.
The following disorders may be behind foot pain: plantar wart; callus; hallux valgus deformity of the first toe; rheumatoid arthritis; plantar fasciitis; gout; Morton's neuroma; injury or bone fracture.
A plantar wart is characterized by pain when pressing on the foot, a flat and hard knot of hardened skin on the foot, and small black dots on the surface of the foot.
Typically, plantar warts do not require treatment.
Plantar warts are caused by papillomavirus.
Signs of hallux valgus include pain in the base of the big toe, swelling, redness, tenderness and limited movement of the joint, and a bone spur on the side of the foot.
If you have hallux valgus, wear soft shoes.
The main causes of this disorder are: genetic predisposition and uncomfortable and narrow shoes.
Symptoms of plantar fasciitis include heel stiffness and numbness, pain in the heel or under the arch of the foot.
For plantar fasciitis, special inserts can be used.
Morton's neuroma is a benign tumor of nerve tissue between the third and fourth toes. To relieve pain, you can remove your shoes or massage the sore area. Corticosteroids or surgery may be needed.
Morton's neuroma occurs due to inflammation of the nerve. Tight shoes and high heels should be avoided.
With callus, there is acute pain when pressing on the leg or heel.
If you have a callus, avoid tight shoes, use a special insole, and take an analgesic.
Acupuncture and physical therapy can relieve callus discomfort.
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by heating and stiffness of the leg joints, redness, swelling, and pain in the leg joints.
For rheumatoid arthritis, you need a balance between physical activity and rest, and take an analgesic.
Acupuncture helps relieve pain due to arthrosis.
Symptoms of gout include redness, swelling, intense pain in the thumb, chills and fever.
For gout, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and colchicine are used.
Signs of a bone fracture or injury include: pain in the leg after injury or sudden movement, swelling and inability to bear weight on the leg.
If you cannot move your leg, are unable to move, or are unsure of the severity of the injury, it is recommended that you seek emergency medical attention.
To treat a fracture, you may need hard bandages, plaster immobilization, surgery, and anti-inflammatory creams.
