I don't know what I did but the other day my foot started hurting like hell when walking, I didn't exercise or do any other type of extraneous activity. Anybody had something like this happen? Friends are Podiatrist but I'm to busy, just want to make sure my foot isn't going to fall off :D
 
I've seen friends hurt feet etc in sports, my pain is comming from the middle of the foot on bottom, really have no idea what I did.
 
Middle of the foot near the toes or the arch? There's a pretty common ailment that a lot of people get called "planters faciitis" (sp). It's an inflamation of some tendons. I've had it like a lot of others. A google might describe the symptoms.

Clicked on link and seems thats what it is, hurts like heck. Except that link said it occurs mainly in the morning and goes away, my foot hurts throughout the day. I have one of those foot massager things you fill up with water and it vibrates and heats the water, seemed to help a little bit.
 
Yep, really hurts. I feel for you. Mine hurt all day too. It took weeks to go away. One that helped was rolling an old coke bottle back and forth under my arch. Got that one from the Doc.
 
Planters can be very painful. My doctor suggested rolling a can of frozen juice back and forth under your foot. The most important suggestion was to buy shoes with good arch support, like Brooks tennis shoes with linear support soles that come built in the shoes. See a foot doctor, even with treatment it can take awhile to go away

Just spoke to my grandmother and she said it took a couple years for hers to go away, it would constantly come and go. Maybe if I put my hand through the wall it'll make me forget about my foot......this better not screw with racing :mad: ...I can see myself comming up to a corner fast and going to downshift and saying "ow that hurts" proceeded by me flying off the track
 
Actually after buying the new tennis shoes it really helped relieved alot of the pain. Maybe your catching it in it's begining stages and just shoe correction will make it more bearable. Good luck, don't hit the wall then you'll have to problems.

I had that for about a month, every morning it hurt to walk for about a minute then it would straighten up. Not even the 2 week vacation I took helped, it was adding 2 shoe inserts in my work boots and buying a pair of REEF flip flops ($40) that did it. Now in the mornings like a young old man my feet go straight into the flip flops and off I go. Try walking down the stairs with that foot pain for about a month not cool.

No sh!t, I noticed today it felt better with fip flops then shoes/or the nice casual type dress shoes I wear with jeans/slacks when meeting clients. We have a project we're working on that has the Navy and foreign countries interested in (can't say anything for now :D ), guess I'll have to call them tomorrow and let principals know to expect me on Tuesday in shorts and flip flops lol
 
The Reef flip flops are very very well padded and helped 10000000000x more then anything else. I'm glad I loosened up the purse string a lil and paid for them lol.
 
Now I've got an excuse to wear flip flops everywhere :D

Same here. Mine started getting a lot better after I got new tennis shoes.
 
Button up shirt with Docker/Kaki shorts with some flip flops and I'm pimping all over the warm world lol.
 
Suck it up you baby! HeeHee J/K! Surfer, sorry to here about that. Hope it gets better...
 
HEY SURFER! Do yourself a favor and get your blood sugar tested for Diabetes. Foot pain is a BIG early sign of Type II. That's where my pain started and I ignored it until it was too late.

At the very least, you can then eliminate that from the "cause" list.

I'll check, but I don't think anyone in my family has diabetes.
 
My wife went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago because of extreme pain in her heel, and its turned out that she has a fractured heel. Now shes on disability(vacation) for eight weeks.
Have you gotten it checked out yet?
