Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe foot pain causing difficulty in walking . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury , gout , arthritis , bone spurs , bunions , bursitis , corns and calluses , diabetic neuropathy or plantar fasciitis .

I would suggest you to keep your feet in hot water tub with epsom salt for 15 minutes twice daily , take proper rest and do not stand for long time . If condition doesn't get better then consult podiatrist for proper examination .

Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory or orthotic device . Doctor may also recommend surgery in case of achilles tendinitis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
