What Causes Pain In The Feet And Toes?

My feet have been hurting me for the past several months. My toes are turning out away from the big toe. I have been to a podiatrist and he says it is caused from the nerves in my back pressing on a nerve that runs down to my foot. He has prescribed shoe inserts which I had made to my foot, but am not seeing where it is helping much. Can you give me some insight?

Hello,

I think you may be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. You should visit a rheumatologist and do blood tests and anti-ANA antibodies and ERS. Podiatrist can't help you have arthritis. You may need to take medications.

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

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
