What Causes Frequent Tremors And Pain In The Feet?

Hi my 70 year old mum has crumbling feet and is in constant pain I think it maybe a type of arthritis. The problem is the top of her feet and surgery has been suggested, removing bone from her heal and pushing it between her toes but if it isn t successful she has been told she may not walk again. Can you please tell me if you have any information about this condition, thanks Donna.Is there a cost for your answer? If yes please don t respond.PLEASE Don t RESPOND IM. NOT Working AND CANNOT Afford TO PAY

Hello Dear
I evaluated your query thoroughly .
@ As per your narration it seems Plantar calcaneal spur over the heel area
giving compression over that part & constant pain with difficult walking .
@ It would have been better if I can view x-ray report of her but anyway
without that I suggest you as following
- allow her to wear soft slippers , preferably with spiky bumps in it as doing
accupressure effect , avoid high heels if wearing
- avoid walking barefoot
- leukwarm water fomentation for 10-10 minutes 3 times a day
- keep her BP , blood sugar , weight under control
- analgesics as per requirements
- surgery as only last resort if pain is not at all decreased by any means of
above suggestions
Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for any further assistance .
Thanks for using Health care magic .
