hi,
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.
As mentioned by you the symptoms of pain in the right foot without any swelling then a thorough neuromuscular assessment is needed .
the pain can be due to any of the following factor which needs a thorough assessment - the pain can be due to plantar fasciitis, calcaneal spur or neuropathic.
For which post doing a detailed assessment of the feet and other special clinical test along with x-ray of the feet or MRI of the lumbar spine based on the possible positive clinical test will help us guide with the x-ray or MRI. Post which the treatment will be planned with a combination of medication and physcial therapy.
In my clinical practice after a thorough detailed assessment the treatment is planned with a combination of medication and physical therapy. we are able to manage 99% of recovery in patients and back to action.
I wish the same from you.
Regards.
