| Bottom Foot Pain |
| |
Do you have bottom foot pain? Is it hard to walk and keep up normal activity due to this bottom foot pain?
Here are some major causes of Bottom Foot Pain:
- Heel pain, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis can cause bottom foot pain, especially noticeable when stepping down on the foot first thing in the morning.
- Those with flat feet or falling arches may also feel bottom foot pain. People with flat fleet must shift pressure from walking to other parts of the foot, which can cause intense bottom foot pain.
- Morton’s neuroma, an inflammation of the common digital nerve between adjacent toes on the bottom of the foot, can sometimes cause bottom foot pain.
- People suffering from metatarsalgia – which derives its name from the term “metatarsals,” or long bones of the foot – feel intense pain in the ball of the foot, and thus experience bottom foot pain.
- Plantar warts, the rough little bumps on the bottom of your foot, are actually a form of a virus, and can contribute to bottom foot pain.
The list of reasons and/or conditions that can contribute to bottom foot pain is endless. If you have bottom foot pain, it’s important to go to the doctor to get X-rays taken. Many conditions resulting in bottom foot pain can worsen if left untreated, so visit your doctor or podiatrist as soon as possible to determine the real root of your bottom foot pain.
