Suggest Treatment For Pain On Under Inner Side Of The Foot
I injured my heel at dance class in early May. It hurts on the underneath inner part of my foot; under my heel. It hurts most when I wake up in the morning and after walking around for a few minutes feels better; the pain resumes if I spend a lot of time on my feet through the day. The pain isn t intense more aggravating. I just noticed a vein bulging vein on the same leg going from my heel and up my leg about 4-5 about a week ago. Today it is protruding more than it orginally started out as. There is no pain associated with the vein but a concern. I have not but am going to start ice treatments as I have been reading how these help. Thank you for any suggestions that can aid my recovery. I have never had any problems like this. I know I did not warm up enough before class that night

hi
Heel problems are usually due to calcaneum spurs (growth of beak in heel bone called calcaneum).The best course of treatment is wearing a cupped heal of soft inner cushion while walking.Do contrast bath dipping foot in a tub of hot and cold water alternately every minute for 10 minutes twice a day.Apply anti-inflammatory gel like DFO gel locally after contrast bath. Take advil tablets after meals for 3-5 days.it should improve in a week. if doesnt then get x ray of heel and visit orthopedic doctor.Local infilteration of injection hydrocortisone may be required and application of ultrasonic massageif your doctor thinks necessary
thanks
