Foot Problems

[Buff]

Let me first say that I've got a doctors appointment booked. Unfortunately I have to wait a couple of weeks for that appointment, where he'll probably take 2 minutes and refer me to a specialist.

I've been feeling some weirdness with my feet lately. At first it was just my right foot, but now it is with both feet. I do not feel pain, it just doesn't feel right. It is in the balls of my feet. I thought it was the socks I was wearing were bunched up in my shoes under the balls of my feet, but the feeling wouldn't go away when I removed my shoes and pulled up my socks. After having my wife take a look she said it looked like the balls of my feet were swollen.

Has anybody else experienced this? It is weird because it doesn't hurt. I don't feel pain and I wouldn't say it is discomfort because that would suggest some pain. It just feels weird.

Gout maybe?

[Komskies]

Are you wearing a new pair of shoes? Maybe you need to get fitted for some orthotics.

[flamesfever]

Neuropathy?

Sounds like they`ll have to amputate. I`m so sorry.

Gout for me was a screaming pain in the joints of my toes, it is caused by crystals of uric acid forming in the joints, it is not so much uncomfortable as excrutiatingly painfull, akin to having a red hot needle jabbed into your toe when you move it.

Early symptom of diabetes?

Wasn't there another thread very similar to this a couple months ago? --- turned out the guy was where someone else's shoes or something very odd like that.

Is it in the bones of the foot or the meaty pad part of the foot. I guess it is possible to bruise the pad portion of your foot.

[Buff]

Both feet. The pad portion.

Funny story, I was quickly explaining this to a co-worker and I left out the "of my feet" part and told them "My balls are swelling". I couldn't figure out why they suddenly gave me such a weird look.

Gout is a type of arthritis that usually forms in the feet due to purines in the diet. Do you eat a lot of red meat?

How tight are your calves? You have a lot of tendons attached to the base of your foot. If your calves are tight I would suggest 10 minutes of daily stretching. After a few days you would notice a difference.

Plantar fasciitis maybe?

that's a good description of it. I get it in the joint of my ankle and when it flares up I am unable to walk without crutches, the slightest breeze of air will send me through the roof screaming in pain

haha I remember that, they were too small because he ganked someone else's shoes by accident

[Zevo]

Sounds like cancer.

[wooohooo]

Try seeing a Podiatrist. My friend had bad foot problems and was set up with a nice brace.

[Rudee]

Definitely get this looked at by a Doctor. A former coworker of mine was discovered to have Diabetes when he came in complaining about sore feet.

[Yasa]

As somebody that's heard of feet, I have no idea.
