What Causes Pain Under The Left Foot?
I have pain under my left foot, buy I can feel that it is the bone that hurt because sometime I try to bend my foot and I feel so much pain. I have not injured myself, the pain just came and I don t know what it is. Last year, I had the same pain in the right foot. I have always wore high heels and I still do. Would this be because of the shoes I wear. Also, I often have cramps in my feet and it really hurt. When I have the cramps, I am unable to move the foot. Thank you for answering my question. Gloria

hello Gloria,
it will be pleasure answering your question.
As per the history of yours there canbe two possibilities which comes in my mind as per the history you provided.
Either this could be a plantar fasciitis or either a disc pathology in the lumbar spine.
Since this both conditions can occur due to wearing of the heel foot wear as the normal anatomy and physiology of the bone and muscle is changed.
you need a thorough clinical examination and an MRI of lumbar spine which can help understand the pathology better.
Also, this injuries can be helped with great ease by physical therapy and simple vitamins medication.
in my clinical practice most patients with high heel foot wear have similar complaints and they respond well once the core is strengthen.
