Foot Pain
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Getting checked for foot pain makes sense when the discomfort interferes with walking, working, or doing physical activity, or when it persists despite rest. Foot pain is a very common problem that can originate in the skin, bones, joints, tendons, or nerves of this area.
Common causes: poorly fitting footwear, overuse from exercise, gait abnormalities, tissue inflammation, or nail problems.
Signs not to wait on: severe or constant pain, swelling that does not go down, redness, or difficulty putting weight on the foot.
The podiatrist is the right professional to look into the source of the discomfort, and the physical therapist can support functional recovery. The most sensible thing is to have persistent pain evaluated by a qualified professional before it limits your activities.
