What Causes Severe Pain On The Bottom Of Feet?

For 11/2 months I ve been having severe pain in the bottom of my right foot. it feel like I m stepping on large rocks in bare feet, but I m wearing thick soled tennis shoes. When I m bare feet, OMG,,I can barley walk. Right foot only. I had a introductory bout with Gout about 4 months ago on my big toe. (right foot) That when I was diagnosed with Gout. I was tramamtized! I enjoy life at 62, I stay active in church,job and socially, and I don t know how to help my body fight this Gout. I know it s hereditary, and I d like to help my off spring prevent from developing it. I have 3 Adult sons. 2 are healthy and one is overweight. I went on line and made a list of foods to eliminate from my diet and I REALLY have a Problem drinking a lot of water. Lately ,because of my pain and being desperate for relief, I ve been drinking water all day and through the night when I wake. I keep 32 0z on my headboard shelf and sip each time I wake through the night, which I do often. I Urinate about 5 times through the night. .

Dear patient
you have got two problems gout for which you are taking treatment and other is plantar fascitis. In this condition there is pain at the weight bearing area of the heel due to inflammation. It happens between 40 to 60 yrs of age. Precautions to take are use of soft heel cushion and hot water fomenting. Tab zerodol sp twice a day helps in pain relief. If not helping local injection of depomedrol under ultrasound guidance at the site of inflammation will surely help.
