Pain at Bottom of Left Foot
Hi Doctors,
For the past couple of weeks , I have been experiencing pain at the bottom of my foot under the second finger(next to thumb). The pain is more at morning and when I flex the foot or walk barefoot or if more pressure is applied at that area, it is applied there.
Can you please help me with some medicine or treatment, or guidance on how to tackle and overcome this pain.
Note: I DO NOT have flat foot condition
This is a very common problem which most commonly occurs by walking bare foot or using hard sole footwear - metatarsalgia
Need to know whether there is any swelling or redness at the site ?? Or any other signs of infection
Next Steps
Get CBC ESR and uric acid done , share the reports - if everything is normal then - tab zerodol SP 1 tab twice daily and tab pantocid 40mg 1 tab empty stomach with tab PregabaM 1 OD HS will help
Do contrast bathing of the foot - alternate warm and cold water fomentation
Use very soft sole chappals
