Detailed Answer:
hi XXXX,
Thanks for the query under Health care magic platform. I have read it carefully & understand your concern.
The shooting pain you have while walking is characteristic of neuralgia.. usually due to compression / irritation of the nerve branch supplying foot.( Planter fasciitis is irritation or inflammation of planter fascia & causes heal pain.) The pressure can be -
- At local site due to inflamed fascia
-At higher site in leg( ankle , knee. hip joint )
-At lumber spinal problem ( spondylosis- due to low osteoporosis) where nerve fibers are compressed at spinal level. Usually associated with back pain.
-Wrong position of foot while walking causing swelling of foot bones pressing on local nerve ( Metatarsal neuroma )/ unsuitable splint, prosthesis
* So you need to consult your family physician for preliminary check up & treatment of neuralgia He may refer you to an orthopedic surgeon/ ankle foot specialist for specific advise after examination & necessary investigations.
- Proper evaluation of site of nerve compression with an expert's help would be followed by specific pain management ( in form of medication- anti inflammatory pills, steroid shots/physio or physical therapy/surgery to relieve nerve compression if indicated)
- The management of fasciitis has to be continued
* -Home care can offer some relief till you get expert's appointment. This includes- Rest/ Hot or cold compresses/Anti inflammatory pills along with vitamin B12 pills / wearing suitable shoes which are soft, flat healed & wide shoes with good arch support,/ light arch stretches.
