Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m having increasing pain in left foot over the last few months, top of foot, especially if I am on my feet for an extended time. I have tried the dr schoels insole inserts but they seem to aggravate the issue. I have also tried better shoes like new balance and nike with out success. I am wondering if I should find a podiatrist? I am over weight but have not increased in weight in the last year.
weight loss should likely help. overweight leads to overuse of lower limb joints and muscles after a variable period. it seems an overuse disease of dorsal tendons of the foot. put on ice bag, a heel under the shorter leg if there is a dysmetry between them and rest for 5 days. continue using comfortable shoes, checking if they are not pressing on the dorsal part of the foot (especially on the "walk bend" just before toes)
