Hi my name is Nicole. A while back i fell on concrete that was not leveled. My ankle had hit the cracked concrete. It felt like i had crashed every bone in my foot.
My foot had gone numb and then got tingling feeling. My pain was 10 on the scale of 1 to 10 pain being the worst. I could hardly walk for about a month or so.
The pain in my ankle and foot soon went away and i didn't and couldn't feel anything. Just recently maybe about 3 weeks ago i was walking and i felt the same pain again as i felt that day, only with more things that were happening such as when i walk my ankle and around the heal ball of my left foot hurts when i walk. It feels like the tissue below the ankle is burning and stabbing and taring and tingling feeling in toes and foot. below the ankle the tissue there is swollen and red. I feel the worst pain there in that area and around the heal ball of my left foot. My foot just feels like it cramps when i stand on it and walk. Seems to hurt worse in the morning time when i get up out of bed or being active. I'm 21 years old and i weigh at least 200 and something pounds.I thought it was my shoes, so i had bought new ones and a gel pad and wear for about a week or more, still seems like its not working, pain just gets worse. I can barely walk or stand it hurts so bad. Now its not one foot its both feet but my right foot ankle doesn't hurt. Just around the heal ball other wise my right foot is fine. Can you please help me? I need to know what this is and why im in so much pain. I have no health insurance and cant afford to go to the doctor, if i did i'd be putting my family in financial problems. I wouldnt be able to take care of my 2 year old.
