What Causes Pain In The Foot?
the heel of my foot began hurting 2 1/2 weeks ago. I thought i bruised it somehow, but the pain is getting increasingly worse. It hurts worst when i first get out of bed or stand up after sitting. the longer i am on my feet the worse it hurts. The pain has begun to spread to the arch of my foot and the calf of my leg. any ideas? Remedies? Precautions? Excercises. i have an appt. with a pediatrist on Mon the 19th, but need some relief before then and before it gets worse. Thank you. Br. Thomas @ The Abbey of Gethsemani

Hello,
Inflammation involving tendon, ligament of joint can lead foot pain. Arthritis is also another cause.
If tingling associated than peripheral neuropathy should be ruled out. Plantar fasciitis can also be the possibility.
Local part x-ray can be done for further work up. Also, Consult an orthopedic surgeon for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
