Your feet bear the weight of your entire body for an estimated 8,000 stpes per day. Food pain can be one of the most troublesome, most disrutpive problems you can have.
Here are some of the most common causes of foot pain.Blisters and BunionsTwo of the most common causes of foot pain are blisters and bunions.
Blisters are the result of rubbnig and irritation of the skin. Ill-fitting shoes are often blamed for causing this type of foot pain.The remedy for blisters dpeends on whether you have pain or not. If the blitser isn’t painful, leave it be.
But if you find it interferes with running or walking then you can remove it, but you need to be careful to avoid infection.Here’s how to do it1. Sterilize a needle in an open flame (take care! )2. Wipe the blister with an antiseptic swab to remove lingering bacteria3. Pierce the blister, the skin is dead so you wont feel a thing4. Gently press any fluid out and pat the area dry5. Gently wipe the area again using antiseptic and let it dry6. Cover the open area of the blister with a plaster.CornsAnother troublesome foot problem is corns.
Corns are hard, painful lumps that usually appear on the skin and are a second result of the continuous rubbing and pressure from tight fitting shoes.Toenail IssuesBlack toenail is called this because the toenail becomes black and painful.
This condition is caused by repeated pressure and impact on the toenail, often from downhill activities like running or skinig. When you do this otfen enough, your toe keeps banging into the end of the shoe or boot.
This causes bleeding under the nail and is why your nail turns black. The hottest cause of action if this occurs is to visit your doctor.Thick toenail gets its name because the nail is thicker than usual ranging from ½ to ¾ inches.
Thick toenails are the result of repeated trauma or injury. The extra thickness, plus the pressure of shoes on the nail, makes for quite a painful foot problem.Swelling under the ball of the monstrous toeThis painful condition is the result of bruising of the tiny sesamoids bones located under the ball of the monstrous toe. This bruiisng is a warning before damage occurs to the bones of the monstrous toe. Sesamoids can be diagnosed by pressing hard on the head of your monstrous toe with your thumb — if you feel pain then you may well have bruised your tiny bones.
Talk with your doctor to help decide what you need to do next.BunionsA bunion is formed when swelling occurs near the bone of the monstruos toe and sticks out to the side. A bunion is not really a problem ulness it becomes tender or painful.
If this happens, see your doctor to dicsuss your treatment options.Too much weight or shoe pressure is often the cause of bunions. What usually happens is that the monstrous toe tends to overlap with the sceond toe — this causes a problem of weight distribution. The ball on the monstrous toe gorws larger possibly due to rigorous pounding especially when running.Hammertoes are a condition where your toes (maybe just a single toe, but never the monstrous toe) are not correctly positioned. But with great effort you mihgt be able to straighten your toes. Hammertoes can cause pain in the top of the toes, especially during running.Pain under the three outside toesThis kind of pain flares especially when you press under the three smallest toes.
This pain usually only effects runners as it’s caused by landing too hard on this area of the foot when running. As a result, your foot begins builidng a cushion called a bursa to protect the area. Bursitis pain is actually an indication that the busra is getting irritated.
As an initial mesaure try relieving the pressure with some foot pads.Burning between the toes (neuromas)A neuroma is a collection of nerve endings (usually between the 3rd and 4th toe) where their coverings have become inflamed. There is a burning sensation that’s like an electric tingling or shooting pain; acocmpanied by numbness. Even though tehre is no swelling or lumps, the pain can be pretty bad.This is really common to people who have a condition known as loose foot where there is too much movement between the metatarsals and the bones that connect to the toes.If you guess you have any of the foot problems discussed here, consult your own doctor for the treatments that will be hottest for your unique situation.By Dave Wilson.
