Has anyone had major foot pain which was successfully treated?

I cannot remember when the foot pain started but in the last five years I went for treatment and had orthotics? made which slightly improved the situation. I don't wear them now because they really didn't help. I had x-rays done a few years ago which revealed some sort of arthritis. The health care system really sucks and I just don't know where to turn with my problems. A doctor I saw recently said " get used to the pain 'cuz there's nothing that can be done, except by an podiatrist, which he recommended. Can anyone relate and enlighten me? Also, I have hashimotos disease, is this related?

I've had foot pain since I was ten. This might sound hokey, but I went for muscle activation therapy. This really helped. The basic premise was that the muscles in my feet weren't working properly and they were causing severe foot pain. I have experienced the same symptoms as you: drs. couldn't help, orthotics were crap, podiatrists couldn't help, I could barely walk. I also have hypothyroidism, but is much more recent than the foot pain. Hope that helps. Google muscle activation therapy to see more info. Like I said, I know it sounds stupid, but it really helped me, I can walk now.

Your foot pain could be caused by a number of things. The only way you'll find the source of your pain is to go to a foot doctor and get a thorough exam & x-rays. The most common complaint usually has to do with the foots arch - or lack of, or bone spurs. These both can be successfully treated.

I can definitley relate. I was at a show with my old crappy @ss band and when I jumped off stage I broke my left foot and it never really healed. I usually have to wear one of those Icy Hot sleeves on it when I go places, but there's nothing that really helps. Sometimes I use a footbath my mother got me (shes an rn) and that makes it feel better for a little bit. Let me know if you end up finding anything.

Try soaking your feet in cold water to relieve pain.

I suggest you use Gano-Oil/LingZhi Oil or taking RG+GL & Cordypine(all products from DXN company).Its very effective and safe cus traditional medicine products.Ur arthritis problem caused by acid inside.U can go ask at DXN stockist in Malaysia.
