Suggest Remedy For Pain In The Foot

My girlfriend has been having horrible shooting pain in both of the arches and heals everyday for the past few months now, it brings her to tears. tonight I was rubbing her foot and noticed a hard bump between the heal and the joint of big toe on both feet, I do not have this on my foot, thought this could be the root of the problem, researched and saw about navicular syndrome, what do you think

Hello,

There are several syndromes that can cause this. X-ray or ultrasound or even MRI can be the first step.

BUT frankly, cannot say in your particular case, but generally, irritated/scarred tendons form lumps in the bottom center of the foot. Local injection by a podiatrist mostly works.

Since the needle goes right to a spot you can feel and is about 1/2 inch under the surface, it is hard to miss and hard to have side effects. Basically, it's a pretty simple injection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
