Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have pain in the bottom of my left foot when I walk. The more I walk the worse it gets. I have been using heating pad with no good results. I haven t stepped on anything that may have caused this. I do have neuropathy in this foot. Any thoughts? I appreciate your time.
I would rule out plantar fasciitis which has pain in the beginning when you start to walk then it goes. My opinion is that this is a neuropathic pain. You should check out every night your feet if you have a starting pressure wound that you have not noticed before. Also, I would suggest you to use custom made shoe insert (insoles) which will help the comfort on the shoe. For the pain you can take Lyrica which is pain killer for neuropathy pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Edvin Selmani
