Why does foot pain suddenly increase?
There may be several reasons that cause your feet to suddenly hurt, in some cases it may be temporary and in others you should see your doctor to find out exactly what is happening and find the solution you need as soon as possible.
- plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the bottom of the heel. The plantar fascia ligaments can experience wear and tear from the use of your feet in daily life, which is why this ailment is very common. Normally the ligaments act as shock absorbers supporting the arch of the foot. Excess pressure on the feet can damage or tear the ligaments so the plantar fascia becomes inflamed and this can cause foot pain.
- Sprains or sprains. Sprains and strains are injuries to the body as a result of physical activity on many occasions. These injuries are common and can range from mild to more severe, depending on the type of incident that caused them. But in most cases it is better to be evaluated by a doctor to know the severity.
- Ingrown toenails. Ingrown toenails occur when the edges or corner of the nail grow into the skin next to the nail. Ingrown toenails can get infected and that’s why they hurt. They can be treated at home, but if the skin has been pierced or if there is a lot of infection, it is better to see a doctor to assess the condition.
- Saddle bone deformity. A Saddle Bone deformity is an enlarged bone on the top of the foot that can become painful from the shoe pushing on it. Fixing a saddle bone deformity usually requires padding on the foot or in the shoe.
These are the three most common causes of sudden increase in foot pain, but there are also other causes such as: arthritis, fibromyalgia, fractures, sciatica, tendonitis, flat feet, bunions, gout, etc. If you notice pain in your feet, it is best to see your doctor to find out what it is and find the right treatment for you.
