What Causes A Knot And Pain Inside The Right Foot?

I have a knot and pain on the inside of my right foot, just below ankle bone. I have had pain for a few days. The pain gets much worse if I lay down moving the pain up my leg. Can't sleep laying down have to sit in chair with leg down. No pain medication has helped ( over the counter). Need sleep. Pain is horrible when laying.

Hi welcome to HCM
I can understand your concern for a knot and pain inside the right foot .

Muscle knots often form when the muscle is experiencing a spasm. A muscle spasm occurs when a muscle is in a continuous contraction and typically follows an injury.
Trigger points can be caused by acute trauma. Treating the acute injury can help to resolve the associated muscle knots .
This condition is simply defined as chronic muscle pain. . This pain tends to worsen or persist. Trigger point injections, physical therapy and medications can help to alleviate the pain and muscle knots. Physical therapy often includes massage, stretching and finding the cause of the pain . Medications that can be used include antidepressant medications and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs .
Trigger points are similar to knots, but are painful to the touch.
Applying pressure to trigger points may cause referred pain and muscle spasm .
Stress may include exercise, lack of exercise, repetitive daily activities, poor posture and nutritional deficiencies. Trigger points may limit range of motion and cause muscle weakness . Massage with analgesic ointment . Application of hot pack and injections may all be useful for relief on the painful knot .

A level spoon of turmeric powder in a cup of hot milk and a spoon of almond oil
is soothing from pain and inflammation , being an antioxidant anti biotic . Almond oil is soothing to mind , so induces sleep .

Chamomilla 30 , a homeopathic great remedy for relieving pain and sleeplessness . Dose 2 drops in 2 table spoons of water / 3 hourly . Twice a day .
Hope this helps solve your query .
Take care . All the best
.
