Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in the foot . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like achilles tendinitis , bone spurs , bunions , bursitis , corns and calluses , diabetic neuropathy , gout or plantar fasciitis . But in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to bone abnormalities , thinning out or shifting of your foot pad’s fatty tissue , high arch or flat feet or hammertoes . For now give proper rest to your feet , do gentle massage of foot and put your feet in hot water tub with one spoon of salt daily at least for 15 minutes . I would suggest you to consult podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment . Podiatrist may recommend supportive footwear such as sneakers , arch supports , metatarsal pads , shock absorbing shoe insoles and inserts and orthotics .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
