Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe stabbing pain in foot upon exhalation. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like achilles tendinitis , bursitis , corns and calluses , diabetic neuropathy , gout , plantar fasciitis , rheumatoid arthritis or tendinitis . But in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to nerve dysfunction. I would suggest you to put your foot in hot water tub with epsom salt in it for 15 minutes daily , do gentle massage with sesame oil and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order certain test like CT scan , MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory along with recommend physical therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
