Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have pain in my feet especially the left one for 2 years and no one can tell me what s wrong. I had back surgery in January to fix a herniated disc because I was told it would solve my foot pain but, It didn t work. Then I was diagnosed with gout and that might not have been true. Then I found out I had a stress fracture which has now healed. Now I am being told I have neuropathy. I want to get answer to what is really wrong.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. Pain in foot may be due to repeated over-stressing of the same structure of the foot as it may lead to stress fractures, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and acute and chronic osteoarthritis. pain in foot may also occur in patients of increased uric acid or RA factor. You should get your RA factor quantitative, serum uric acid, E.S.R, C.R.P and x-ray of foot in AP, Oblique and Lateral view done.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
