What Does Pain On The Left Foot Indicate?

I have slight pain and soreness when walking or putting weight on my left foot only. Slight pain is on the outside edge of the foot and some up to the top. I work in a hospital on and walk on hard cement floor. I have been elevating and at times wearing an ace band. I change shoes frequently and wear mostly tennis with good support. I have high arches so wear inserts in the shoes. Is there anything more I can be doing to alleviate minor pain and soreness when walking, causing small limp?

Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

1)Do a clinical examination by your Doctor and do X-ray to ruled out major pathological disorders.

2)Do check your blood differential count, uric acid and fasting blood sugar level.

3)Immerse your foot in warm water to increase blood flow to the affected area and pain will be reduced.

Take few preventive steps like this -

1)Try to keep your fluid intake high. Stay well-hydrated, by drinking plenty of water.

2)Limit or avoid alcohol.

3)Get your protein from low-fat dairy products. Limit your intake of meat, fish and poultry.

4)Maintain a desirable body weight. Choose portions that allow you to maintain a healthy weight.

Hope that helps
