Severe Pain In Left Foot Centralized In Ankle And Heel. What To Do?
I have severe pain in my left foot centralized in my ankle (left side) and heel. About a month now. I saw a foot and ankle specialist thinking it was probably a bone spur or planter f_______ and my pain eases after the first 5 steps or so. But, the foot specialist said it wasn t either. Just wondering about gout.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
If I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the analgesic and the drug of choice would be "Diclofenac" with Acetaminophen three times in day this would give good result, even using local analgesic will give nice result, if these regime fails to response then I would ask for test for gout, have nice day
