[|Human|] I ve had extreme pain in my left foot for 5 days and I m only able to put minimal weight on it. I had the same issue in July. X-rays were taken and there is no stress fracture or broken bones. I feel it is an extremely inflamed tendon. The primary area of the pain is along the left side of the foot and along the top arch starting at the joint going towards the toes. I ve been icing it and taking anti-inflammatories with only minimal relief. I use the boot from my previous doctor visit if I need to walk for any distance. Any suggestions?
[|AI|]  Hi. The pain what you described IA due to imbalance in your foot musculature and improper loading in your foot joints. This usually occurs if you tend to wear an ill citing shoes and further get worse if you have a collapsing arch... Nothing to worry... If I were your treating doctor would recommend you to roll an ice bottle under your foot.check for collapsing arch and advise arch support. Gentle massage over your calf muscles and side muscles of the leg. Advise strengthening of gluteus. Like Bridging...clamshell.prone leg lifts.lying sideways and lifting the legs sideways etc. Hope this is useful for you.kindly revert in case you need any further help...
