Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Feet

I have some issues with the ball of my feet, mainly in the middle of the big toe and the little toe. I have seen some info on metatursil problems and have just returned from a trip to Rome where my feet were always sore. I also have had in the past two and a half years two major operations, one on my lower back, L3-4-5-Si and a left hip replacement in March of 2013. My constant problems with the feet came after the hip op. Any suggestions? Joe

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Possibility could be of lumbar disc compressing nerve root leading to pain in foot.
I will advise you to do MRI spine.

There can be nerve compression due to hip pathology and previous operation.

Another possibility of arthritis and associated plantar fasciitis.
X ray will rule out arthritis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
