Sudden onset of severe heel pain.?
Yes, it sounds like heel spurs. I had one....and it was very painful, just as you described. I suffered with it a long time and it was especially worse in the morning. I couldn't step down on it. But by the time I went to work it was better. Long as I had shoes on. Once home, and my shoes were off it hurt again. Finally I found a hard ball....like a golf ball......Under my heel rolling it back and forth....I did this everyday a few times. It hurts to do, but helps in the long run. While watching t.v...and believe it or not. It helped. I guess it broke up the spur and took away the pain. It hadn't come back and its been a few years. Once its broke up the pain went away. Just like surgery where they go in and break it up. The ball worked fine, just fine a good hard ball you can roll under you heel. Give it a try...Good luck.
My dog is licking his paw and limping. This is a sudden onset and there doesn't seem to any pain.Please Help
John, If he's limping, he's in pain! Check the paw carefully. Look for cuts and burrs. If you find none, he might have been stung by a velvet ant, or some other kind of ant. mix up a bowl of water with epsom salts and soak his paw. Give him an Ecotrin (coated aspirin). My vet told me this would be safe. If the dog's still limping Monday or Tuesday, you might want to take it to the vet. -!-

Several possible answers but the real emergency possibility is torsion of the testicle - where the testicle rotates on the leash of vessels, vas deferens and cremaster muscle from which it is suspended.Torsion is a genuine EMERGENCY!Your boy needs to be seen immediately - or he may lose the testicle completely.
What causes sudden and intense itching in one's feet? What helps stop it?
According to Healthline:Skin conditions that cause the feet to itch include:allergic contact dermatitis, which can be caused by something like new laundry detergent.athlete's foot, or tinea pedis (fungal infection)atopic dermatitis.juvenile plantar dermatosis.psoriasis.scars.bug bites.dry skin.The treatment will depend on the cause of the itching. If it's an allergic reaction, try removing the possible causes one by one. Infection, whether fungal or bacterial, will require medication, prescription or OTC. There are medications to relieve the itching of psoriasis, but I doubt you would have it only on your feet. Scars…not much you can do. However, usually only fresh scars itch, so give it time. Bug bites…try an OTC anti-itch ointment or cream. Last of all—dry skin usually responds to moisturizing. Creams are more effective than lotions. You might even try Vaseline, then wear socks to bed. That should do the trick. If you see lesions of any kind or you're diabetic, consult your healthcare provider before using anything on your feet.
Foot pain - blood clot?
I just woke up this morning, and when I got up out of bed, I felt sort of a monotonous pain (I don't want to say dull because it's pretty painful) on/in the bottom of my left foot - it's on the right side of the arch of my foot, closer to the heel of the foot, near the inside ankle bone/joint thing. A slight bulge, but you could only notice it if you were to examine it. It sort of prevents me from walking normally, I could walk normal, but it would be quite painful. I can't place my heel on the floor to walk, so I have to stand on my toes with that foot. It makes me look like I have a fractured hip or something. The past couple of weeks I've been pretty sedentary because I was fired. Does it have something to do with being sedentary? Is it a blood clot? Is it puss/abscess? I tried leaving it elevated for about an hour, but that didn't do anything. Please refrain from advising me to see a doc; of course I will go see one, I'd just like to be ready. Especially here in the US - I don't want the doc telling me to go take some pills for depression...
Sudden, extreme arch pain, no injury?
There is a muscle under your foot that often times tightens up to give pains under your foot. There are also others within the foot but are too complicated to get at now, so hopefully this will help you with that pain. Here's how to free up the muscle under your foot: Foot Muscle: With your foot in your lap place your fingers side by side at the back of the arch right in front of the heel and press in hard and hold. After 30 seconds slowly raise the front of your foot up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
Foot pain, blood clot? achilles surgery?
I had surgery one week ago to repair a torn achilles tendon. The pain has been moderate since then, but last night I started to get sharp pain, almost in the heel area. The pain seemed to pulsate. It worsened if I elevated my leg or bent my knee. I have been warned about getting blood clots and was worried that this might be one since the pain seemed to maybe pulsate with each heartbeat. I was a little worried since I have not had pain like this since the original injury, it just seemed strange. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks.
Why does my foot have pain and feel cold, and what should I do about it?
See the doctor. You may have nothing more than a sprain but it could be more especially if you are an older person.
I have severe heel pain in my heel.?
Hello, First of all I am sorry that you have this pain, it must be frustrating. It is difficult to tell exactly what is wrong, it could be a lot of things. Perhaps Sever's Disease. In order to diagnose you better please answer these questions: 1) Do you have high or low arches? 2) Is there any redness or bruising? 3) Where is the pain located exactly in the heel (bottom/back)? 4) What kind of shoes you usually wear (when you don't exercise gymnastics)? 5) Is it painful to the touch? 6) Can you walk on your heel at all? Here are a few things you can do right now: 1) Continue to ice your heel at least 4 times a day, either by applying ice directly or rolling it over a frozen bottle. 2) Wrap your foot with an ACE bandage. 3) Avoid any high impact activities. Again, if you can answer my questions I would be happy to assist you further. You can write to me directly if you prefer, my email is in my Yahoo profile or itaiw@yahoo.com Feel Better!
