What causes a hurting foot? There are several factors that can contribute to a hurting foot. Nearly all causes of a hurting foot can be categorized under one or more of the following conditions.
Here are some major causes of a hurting foot:
- Poor fitting shoes, as well as poorly structured shoes, can cause a hurting foot.
- High-heeled shoes can cause a particular type of hurting foot for women who wear them, as they concentrate all weight and pressure on the toes.
- Some types of clogs and sandals also provide little support, and can contribute to your hurting foot.
- Systemic medical conditions and poor circulation can contribute to the causes of a hurting foot.
- Strenuous exercising can cause overuse injuries, which can injure the feet, and are yet another contributor to the causes of a hurting foot.
- A flat foot is one of the most common causes of a hurting foot. As the arch starts to collapse, the band of ligament and the muscle in the bottom of the foot absorbs the impact of pressure from standing or walking. Eventually, it stretches beyond its limits, leading to possible muscle tears and bone spurs, and yes, a hurting foot.
- Inflammation (swelling, increased temperature, loss of function and a hurting foot) caused by infection, tumors, arthritis or trauma causes a hurting foot.
- Structural deformities, whether congenital or progressive in type, such as hammertoes and bunions, cause a hurting foot.
