[|Human|] I have pain in the bottom of my right foot. It is constant, about a 6 on a 1-10 scale. It is worse after walking or sitting for any length of time. It is located in the arch of my foot and is very tender with any pressure. I have not had any injury or trauma. Are there exercises I can do to decrease the pain or should I see an ortho MD?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in foot. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like peripheral neuropathy, injury, gout, corns and callus, DVT , soft tissue injury or venous insufficiency. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray along with blood test and urine test and physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may also refer you to podiatrist for foot problem, who may prescribe diuretic along with muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory . For now keep your legs in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes daily and keep your legs elevated while lying down. Doctor may recommend orthotic devices. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
