Suggest Remedy For The Pressure/pain On Feet When Walking

Hello, yesterday I completed a 12 mile Tough Mudder. During the course, my feet began to hurt but I continued anyway to finish . As of now I have pain whilst bearing my body weight or walking. There is no bruising or swelling it appears, but there is pressure/sharp pain when I walk. I m in the military, on leave and do not have access to a doctor s office. Tomorrow I begin a one week backpacking trip around Scotland. What do you suggest I do to minimize the problem until I get back to my duty station?

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got stress fracture in feet . These are seen in long distance walking . Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen. You should avoid walking and take rest. You are again plan to go o trip. I think you should avoid it if possible . You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.
