What Causes Severe Pain In Feet During Mornings?
What are some causes of foot pain? I am a 59 year old female in relatively good health. I could definitely excersise more. When I first put my feet on the floor in the morning when I first get out of bed it is really painful until I walk on them for awhile. Do you have any idea? Email is YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
There are several possible causes of foot pain, including:
* Plantar fasciitis: This is a condition in which the plantar fascia, a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, becomes inflamed, leading to pain in the heel or arch.
* Heel spurs: These are bony growths that develop on the heel bone and can cause pain in the heel.
* Arthritis: Several types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause foot pain.
* Neuropathy: This is a condition in which the nerves in the feet are damaged, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling.
* Stress fractures: These are small cracks in the bones of the feet that can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness.
* Bunions: A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe, causing pain and inflammation.
* Tendinitis: This is a condition in which the tendons in the feet become inflamed, leading to pain and swelling.
If the pain is worst in the morning when you first put your feet on the floor, plantar fasciitis is a likely possibility. Other symptoms of plantar fasciitis can include stiffness and aching in the feet, especially after sitting or standing for long periods. It is important to see a healthcare provider determine the exact cause of your foot pain and receive appropriate treatment. Treatment options may include stretching exercises, physical therapy, orthotics, pain medication, or in some cases, surgery.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
