i'm hoping someone might have some insight into foot troubles i've had for the last couple months or so. none of my doctors have any real advice which is quite frustrating.
it is isolated to the ball of the foot behind the big toe and through the big toe (in both feet). if i have no weight on my foot the whole area mostly feels stiff and sore and looks slightly swollen. pain increases when i walk and is most acute right at the joint which connects the big toe and bone of the foot on the bottom (the part that is making contact with the ground). if i poke that spot, bump it on something, etc. it hurts quite bad. hiking obviously multiplies that a number of times. i find it strange that there is such a specific point the pain radiates from.
i was hiking more and longer days than ever before in the spring and beginning of summer, but since this started i have taken more time off. at this point i've gone two weeks with no real physical activity on it and have seen no improvment. i hate to keep paying my doctors to tell me to take advil. has anyone had the same type of problem?
thanks so much for your help.
