What Causes Recurring Pain In The Feet While On Aleve?
I have recurring pain in feet; always one at a time. Has most often been the left foot but now is the right. The pain comes on gradually, is located at the top or over the arch. The pain increases whether I m on or off my feet. The pain has responded in the past to a regiment of Aleve. The last time ibuprofen worked better. This has resolved itself with anti inflammatories after 3-4 days in the past. It s been 4 days and still very painful to walk.

The pain can be either muscular in nature or neuropathic (related to the nerves). If it is muscular, you can do certain stretches to relieve the pain. For example, in plantar fasciitis, you should flex your feet when resting. If it is neuropathic, you would have to see a neurologist or general internist to get a prescription for other medication. You should see an orthopedist or podiatrist and ask about shoe inserts for extra pain relief.
