Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Pain in foot may be due to repeated over-stressing of the same structure of the foot as it may lead to stress fractures, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and acute and chronic osteoarthritis. Pain in foot may also occur in patients of increased uric acid or RA factor. You should get your RA factor quantitative, serum uric acid, E.S.R, C.R.P and x-ray of foot in AP, Oblique and Lateral view done. If all the reports are with in normal limits and if fasting blood sugar is also in normal limit then you should follow following treatment:
-Provide rest to affected foot as much as you can for 3-4 days.
-Do regular calf and foot muscle stretching exercise as uploaded on you tube.
-You can take tab. aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase combination in morning evening and night by discussing it with your doctor.
-Shoes with good arch support and a cushioned sole.
Apply hot packs for 30 mins over affected foot in morning and evening.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
