So back story. I have high arches. I've had ankle problems sinse i was a kid.

I've now developed bursitis in my right knee. And abiut 7 months ago the ball of my right foot started giving me problems. I had xrays and found I had a stress fracture in one of my sesamoid bones. I did the crutches thi

Hi all,
I’ve been dealing with what has been diagnosed as 2nd MTP capsulitis on the left foot for about 12 months. I went to a specialist and they did a diagnostic ultrasound injection with lidocaine. That took the pain away and took the feeling of walking on a stone away. My toe does not drift, there is no crossover or hammer toe. All physical exams do NOT point to a plantar plate tear/rupter. I can flex the toe with no pain but I

I feel so frustrated, I started with pain on the outside of my feet, treated by physio for pereneal tendonitis. Did not work, went to rehab doctor, she thinks it's arthiritis, Sent to rheumatologist.

I work Monday-Fri and I can work like one day for 4 hours and then my feet hurt and that’s if I PUSH myself. So basically I’m screwed. My plans for paying off my car, moving out

Okay so, second day of work. Literally had to leave after 2 1/2 hours because my feet hurt so bad. Limped my way out of the building, and was in so much pain I cried the whole way home. I’m literally 18 and I’ve been dealing with this for a year now. I’ve tried so many things and I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I’m going to try a new dr a foot and ankle specialist to see if I can find out what is going on and if that doesn’t

Update:

Has anyone felt like they’ve tried every doctor and test and nothing has worked???? I’ve been to my general doc, podiatrist, dermatologist, urgent care, er, and infectious disease doc. I’ve had an mri, X-rays, culture. Started about 8 months go with pain and redness on my pinky toe. General doc said athletes foot which I knew it wasn’t and he gave me nystatin. That didn’t work and it got worse so he called in an anti fungal pill. No bueno. Referred to podiatrist. He said it w
