I have been having foot pain for almost a week and a half. It been getting worse to walk on it everyday. I have to walk on my toes sometimes to keep from it hurting so bad. Its swollen some and have a red line on thw arch of my foot right under the pad. It runs diagonally from the second toe from the end all the way down under the pad on the arch under my big toe. What could this be? What can i do til i can get to a doctor if i need to go to one?
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have foot pain while walking. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury, gout, arthritis or muscle strain. I would suggest you to keep your feet in hot water tub with Epsom salt for 15 minutes twice daily, take proper rest and do not stand for long time. If condition doesn't get better than consult general practitioner for proper examination. Doctor may order kidney function test along with heart test and check vitals to confirm the diagnosis and treatment. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
