In May I had a stress fracture to the 5th metatarsal of my right foot, and I am still having pain . An Orthopedic Surgeon diagnosed the pain as RSD- something with my nerves are overreacting to the trauma of the break. Has anyone ever experienced that? If so what was your outcome and how did they treat it? I am in Physical Therapy for it right now, but what happened to you all???

I had foot surgery on my left leg in January. I’ve been trying to get back into running slowly. A couple of weeks ago I was running when I felt something snap and a surge of pain in my left knee. I limped for a few days and its gotten somewhat better, but since then my left knee still continues to hurt and I can’t run at all without a lot of pain. Recently my right knee is starting to hurt as well–I think because I’ve been favoring it. The pain is on the inside of my knees around the knee cap and occasionally spreads towards the bottom of my knees. What might be wrong? Do I just need physical therapy to make my knees stronger since I was on crutches for so long in the winter? Did I pull or tear a ligament in my knee? What can I do to help it heal?
Please help and give me sources if you can. 5 stars and 10 points will be awarded to the person with the most complete answer. Suggestions such as “ask a doctor” are not helpful. I have been to a doctor who referred me to a specialist. I’d just like some more information before my appointment, because it will be awhile before I will be able to get in.
Thank you very very much!
I fractured my ankle on October 3. I was in a cast for 2 months. I got the cast off December 2. Started physical therapy 4 days later. I have been doing physical therapy. I do the simple exercises every day and twice a week I do the full exercises. However, I get this pain in the back of my foot (where my Achilles Tendon is) and a bit on the inner side of my foot. I have to move my foot/ankle in a circular motion until it cracks and then the pain goes away. About 2-3 minutes later, the pain is back and the cycle begins again. Why? I am doing good with physical therapy. I broke my left foot, lower fibula (the ankle). It happened while playing soccer. I am a 12-15 year old female. The doctor said that it is just kinks in the ligaments from being stiff and should go away within a week or two after getting the cast off. Why is this happening? Please!
I am really getting discouraged in getting rid of a pain I have had in my ankle/heal area. Sorry for this long background I am about to give but it may help someone give me some ideals. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.
I assume I got the pain from running, I ran about 3-4 miles a day back in March 2009. I also participated in a sprinting race in jeans (it was for a special school event). A day or two after that race I had horrid pain in the heel, especially in the morning. During the sprinting race I remember I was about to run into a runner in front of me so I had to slow rapidly and I kinda pushed into the ground with my foot on my tip toes (because I was in a dead sprint). I had no pain after the race, my legs only felt a bit weird. Maybe that had something to do with it?
Anyway the bad pain continued for months, and was always worse in the morning. I completely stopped running after the pain started. When my semester ended in May I went to a doctor who told me it was probably tendinitis because they took xrays and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. I went to physical therapy for a few weeks but it didn’t do too much. Eventually after resting and resting it the pain is very minimal. I notice it wen I first walk in the morning and it kinda fades in an out. I am able to run but I do still fell the pain, but it does not increase during running.
Only recently I have noticed my ankle/ heel with the pain cracks a lot. I can move my foot up and down and I feel/hear a popping like sound. Sometimes there is pain-sometimes not. But what really causes pain is pulling down on my foot. I put my hand on the top front part of my foot and lightly pull. there is quit a bit of pain with it. And just a few days ago I found that when the pain in really bad when I do that I can pop my ankle, (never have I done this before) and then when I pull on my foot the pain in the back of my heel/ ankle are has greatly decreased. It actually just happened to me when I was writing this, there is almost no pain now when I pull on my foot. Before cracking it there was a lot of pain. Is something getting pinched, do I have a joint coming out of place? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time and reading this.
I’m 17 have had nerve pain on and off from 7th grade until now when I’m in 12th.. I’ve had 13 surgeries on my toe, foot, and ankle. I’ve gone to pain management, tried pain medication, tried regular medication like advil, water walking, physical therapy, surgeries where I have had nerves released and cut so im numb and so many other things. Feelings like bee stings, bugs crawling around, like someones stepping on me with heels, pulses, aching.. its so hard to explain and I can’t sleep.
its not back pain and some of the surgeries have helped, i know the pains in my foot.. PLEASE ANSWER!
I been having lower back pain and weakness in my left leg for about 4 months.I;ve had both an MRI and a x-ray but neither one showed nothing.They still recommended me to physical therapy.Today was my first day and they gave me an ultrasound and some back exercises to do.
My question is there anyway I can stop this tingling feeling in my leg and how can I stop this weakness in my left leg?Is there any exercises I can do top stop my leg from feeling this way?
I have to make a circular motion with my foot to make my ankle/foot crack to relieve pain. Why is this? I fractured my ankle on October 3 and had a cast til December 2. The doctor said it was, at first, from stiffness and kinks in the ligaments. However, with the help of Physical Therapy, I still feel no relief. The pain comes back about 5 minutes later after I crack it. It is like a cycle. PLEASE HELP! I am going to the doctor in 2 weeks. Thanks…
Unknown Foot Pain.?
Jan 21
Pain shoots around outer ankle down into toes, then swells there or move over top of foot. I am seeing my sixth doctor. It is not morton neuroma, nor any pinched nerve. Curculation is fine as well as bones. (doctor’s ruled all of these out.) What has helped is physical therapy… but after a week, the pain returns. Also, stretching helps sometimes. Staying off my feet really helps, as well as massaging it.
If you have any ideas, please suggest. I am in my sixth month of pain.
I was wearing tighter shoes sixth months ago, and running in them, as well as walking in them. Pain started shortly after…
I had an injury to my ankle 5 years ago i had physical therapy for a couple months but since then on occasion i have this pain on the side of my foot it isnt that flat part that touches the ground its just a lil bit above that there is like a bone there that is the pain. like the past 3 days i mean terrible pain. pain to touch pain at night when i sleep numbness now . i push on it and it hurts but the hurt is good you know. i wrap it and it hurts too much. Also if i twist my foot the other way it gives some relief.???? so any ideas? does this have to do with the arch like can i buy something over the counter to put in my shoe to help or something ..this is crazy pain. I will be making an appointment tomorrow but any body have any thoughts or ideas until i can get into see my dr.
