View Full Version : Metatarsalgia worry
hi all, i haven't been on here for a while, been trying so hard to over come my anxiety and panic! which was going very well until i got this dreadful foot pain.
i looked it up, and yes i know you shouldn't Dr Google but it sounds very similar to Metatarsalgia? i am waiting for my appointment with my gp but am worrying as to how long this pain will last, as walking has been my main help in over coming my anxiety :weep: and now i know the longer i cant go out and do some walking its gonna affect me.
just wondering if any of you have suffered this or know of anyone and to how it is treated x thanks for listening :blush::hugs:
ok, so spoke to my doctor this morning and i think he has diagnosed me wrong! he says its plantar fasciitis! i told him its pain in the ball of my foot, but plantar fasciitis when i looked it up on the web page he gave me, says its heel pain! im sure he heard me say ball of foot, oh well hes the doc i guess i will have to trust him

I had pain in the underneath of my feet - the arch.
The doctor told me to change shoes - I always wore the same ones and mainly trainers.
I also tend to sit on the laptop and rest on the ball of my feet. I now have to make sure I sit with them firmly on the ground.
I had this pain for months and after making a few changes it has gone!

thanks for the reply :) thought no one was listening :blush:, im gonna try a few changes in my shoe wear, although i never wear high heels and am not massively active so it must just be one of those things :( its so painful though it sends me sick x
A friend of mine suffered from this and she bought a pair of FIT FLOPS, and she has never suffered since, she swears by them.

I don't wear high heels either - always flat shoes. I bought 2 new pairs of trainers and swap between them all and it has really helped.
I was in a lot of pain with it too. It kept me awake at night and walking was painful too.
I will find you my post about it.

I think she does mean FIT FLOPS and not FLIP FLOPS. Google them and you can see what they are.
