I am a 28 year old female. I have been living in Denver for the past
one and a half years. After about 2 months of coming to denver, I
started having pain in both my feet after walking for sometime. The
pain is at the top of the foot where the leg meets the foot. There is
no redness or swelling. I also dont see any restricted movement.

I used to do a lot of aerobics/running before. But now the pain starts
just after five minutes of walking. If I stop for a minute, it goes
away too.

I spent around 3 months away from denver and I never had any pain
during that time. But once I came back, it again started after a couple
of months.

Another thing to note: I do not feel any pain in case of start-stop
walking like going around in a mall since you stop a lot inbetween.

I went to a doctor last week. Waiting for the xray results but getting
anxious.

Can any of you comment on what these symptoms may represent?

Thanks
Karen

The xrays came out negative. Has anyone experienced any symptoms like
this before?

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks

Just because xrays are negative does NOT mean that
there is not damage going on. Every surgeon that has
ever been inside my body always says that there was far
more damage than showed on xray and in one case, the
bones of two fingers had turned to pudding but were
showing undamaged on xray. So if you are in the
beginning of damage then you may xray as normal with
nothing wrong. So that makes you just another whiny
female who is looking for attention. Can you tell I
have been down this road before? Are you seeing a
rheumatologist? Get your PCP [primary care dr] to give
you a referrel if your insurance demands one. Took me
15 years to get a diagnosis and I might have both
wrists and several fingers if I had found help earlier.
You keep pushing and keep asking questions.
Also might be wise to see a poditrist too.
Never give up hope and keep telling the doctor that you
need to find out what is causing the pain.

I agree with Duckie, keep pushing for answers!!!

One thing that comes to mind after reading your initial post is that
some of this sounds like it could be circulation related---especially
when you talk about it hurting when you walk and then stopping when you
stop and rest. You may want to have someone check to see if you are
having some circulation problems that need to be addressed!

Best of luck to you in finding some answers!
