Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2007i have a sore foot
Since this past Thursday, I've been fighting what I believe is a very sore metatarsal as part of by big toe bone on my right foot. The cause is I think because I wore new footwear as of last Monday. I've done several things to try fixing it; including: icing it with a pack, warming it with a pack, wrapping it with an ace bandage, and taking four different types of ibuprofen. Even almost 48 hours later, nothing has really changed and it's still very sore. Any thoughts on how to fix this up? thanks > Since this past Thursday, I've been fighting what I believe is a very > sore metatarsal as part of by big toe bone on my right foot.

I usually follow the "seven day rule" for seeing a doctor, due to particularly crappy US health insurance which makes a visit cost at least $100, sometimes $500 if the doctor actually does something. I observe that most minor injuries heal themselves in a week, often if you throw in a extra rest day or two. However, if the pain or other systems worsen, then see a doctor. > Since this past Thursday, I've been fighting what I believe is a very > sore metatarsal as part of by big toe bone on my right foot.

Any thoughts on how to fix > this up? thanks As a qualified MD I know there's only one solution to your problem, amputation. Chainsaw, fast moving train, rusty knife, all will do, just "lop it off" as we say in the medical profession.

Any thoughts on how to fix > this up? thanks I blamed footwear for some of the pain I had when I started getting stress fractures in my metatarsals (age 30). If it doesn't get better, see a doctor.

Any thoughts on how to fix this up? thanks i'd see a podiatrist first, partly to see what kind of recommendations s/he makes about the right/proper kind of footwear specifically for your feet. and since a podiatrist is a foot specialist, s/he'd know what was really going on with your right foot. don't let it go on too long without seeking help. no more than a week. foot pain can really limit you. kate > Since this past Thursday, I've been fighting what I believe is a very > sore metatarsal as part of by big toe bone on my right foot.

Then you try mixing treatment methods (cold and hot) and are surprised it isn't better? If it is so painful that some over the counter medication doesn't relieve it then get to a doctor. It is extremely difficult to diagnose the problem in a news group. HTH, Ed |
