What Is The Cause For An Over Grown Bone On The Inside Of My Left Foot Beneath The Ankle That Hurts?

I have an over grown bone on the inside of my left foot beneath the ankle. It usually hurts most when I stand or walk for long periods of time. The pain gets worse after rest and putting pressure on it is sometimes unberable. What is this condition called, and how can I prevent this from happening?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case.

It is called plantar fascitis due to calcaneal spur.
It is advisable to wear low heel shoe to maintain centre of gravity of whole body.
Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.
You should not walk bare foot at home also.
Avoid exposure of cold to foot.

Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help. Some times tapping to foot may also help to relieve pain.
Take calcium supplement with vit D.

If no relief with this line of treatment then local injection shot can give pain relief for longer duration.
Last modality is minimally invasive surgery to release inflamed tissue. You can do plantar fascia release arthroscopic ally.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
