What Causes Pain In The Sole Of The Feet While Walking?

I have something on the bottom of my foot that just appeared a couple of months ago. I am a hiker and every couple of weeks it gets big enough that it causes me pain when I walk. I ve taken toe nail clippers to it a couple of times and it doesn t hurt to cut it down and that relieves the pain but it eventually comes back. What do you suggest?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
I think it is due to the plantar fasciitis.
Overweight, chronic standing, excessive exercise increase the risk of it.

Physical examination by orthopaedics surgeon and USG scan will help in the
Take following treatment:

Complete rest and avoid standing and excessive walking
Tablet othodol three times per day for 5-7 days
Keep your leg in warm water with added salt
Wear orthotic device for plantar fasciitis
Wear comfirtablet/boost technology shoes

If not respond do above
You can take shockwave therapy
Local Injection of steroids
If not respond and more than 6-8 months you should go for surgery.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
