Pain in my feet is it Plantar fasciitis?

[iamboudicca]

The pain is in the side of my feet the outer 2 metatarsals?

It is really sore when I first stand on it in the morning and after sitting down. It eases off if I walk but too much walking makes it much worse?

There is no swelling or anything visible Both feet are affected but one more than the other?

I am quite overweight and worried that this is the problem or making it worse?

I am trying to increase my activity levels and walk more etc but it seems to be making it worse? I’ve had it for about 3 months or more now and it’s getting worse bit better?

Is it Plantar fasciitis or likely something different?

Personally when I had plantar fasciitis it came as waves of pain and I couldn't walk at all. After this every now and then I can feel it creeping up as tightness and soreness on my heel.

For me it was just my heels, though I now have Achilles tendinitis. Never go bare foot, only wear shoes xl with arch support and stretch your calves and feet. Good luck, it took about 9 months for it to go.

Thanks @Thelondonone. It sounds like it’s in a different place? Mine is almost in the ball of my foot but at the outside edge. The heel is fine?

dod you get a GP to diagnose or something else?

It could be bursitis or (less likely)Morton’s neuroma.

PF tends to ease off with more walking (until you stop & it stiffens up again)

I could have written this post! I have been suffering for months now and feel fobbed off by my gp who tells me to rub my arches across a tennis ball twice a day.

It isn't my arches, it feel like my bones. It's so sore isn't it!

My doc diagnosed this. I have pain around my ankle, never had pain in the sole of my foot. It gets worse when I walk.
I changed my footwear to trainers with memory foam in and the pain is less.
I'm still not convinced.

Someone I know had this and it turned out they were type 2 diabetic. The pain went away once they started managing their diet.

I've also had this recently. It got to the point where I was hobbling for an hour after getting up and it would ease off during the day and be worse again at night. I'm a dog Walker and as such walking for 3 hours a day sometimes. I was also wearing flat sort of spongy soled slides all the time in between walks.
I've switched the slides for Birkenstocks with a bit of arch support (well M and S knock off version, actually, not the real ones) which I'm wearing all
The time, from the minute I get up, not even walking around in bare feet at all, and the pain has literally disappeared in two days.
I've just ordered some arch support insoles for my dog walking trainer and wellies.

I've had similar for a week but it's above the inside arch. Doctor diagnosed gout but blood test said it wasn't. It's getting better with regular inflammatories but a mystery as to what it is.

I have excruciating pain going through my heel from one side to the other and have google-diagnosed it as peroneal tendinitis. I think it's from years of going over on my ankles.

I saw a podiatrist who said he saw a lot of it after lockdown as people were going barefoot a lot.
I was mid 50s at time and he said menopause also could have something to do with it. I was considering hrt and he said he'd be very interested to hear if i did go on it and if it helped (i still haven't)
What did help was wearing shoes all the time - even a flit to the loo in the night. I use a pair of deck shoes as slippers. The habit has stuck and my feet feel fine now.

I have very similar lifestyle and symptoms to @lastminutewednesday and made same changes. Mine also resolved in a matter of days.

I recently had painful feet after waking up. I found suggestions It could be related to tight calf muscles and now find it goes away if I stand on a step, lower my heels and straighten my legs.
