What Causes Severe Pain In Right Foot?

Posted on Tue, 6 Oct 2015

Question: my right foot has been very painful for the past 12 hours. it hurts with no weight on it and hurts more when I try to walk. There are no cuts or bruises. The pain feels as though it is coming from inside the foot and coming up the inside or left side of the ankle. this foot is occasionally painful, but nothing like this. I have painful rheumatoid arthritis and the foot is very slightly swollen. Can you help me? YYYY@YYYY

Hi and welcome.
This can be exacerbation of rheumatoid arthritis or plantar fascitis which means that foot fascia and tendons are inflamed. You need to visit doctor and cast should be applied for 2-3 days, take ibuprofenum 3x400mg,keep leg elevated,apply cold compresses and it should pass. WIsh you good health. Regards
