Help! Foot is killing me

[CheeboygeeCheeboygee]

Bottom of foot has been painful for a few days but nothing unbearable. Today it was suddenly worse. I was limping. I went to bed and woke after an hour or two to go to the loo and now I'm in agony. Pain now in ankle and I can't put any weight in it. Will go to a and e in the morning if I can wait that long. And if I can get dressed and get downstairs. What could be happening? I haven't injured it. Please don't say gout. Toe is fine. 😫

Is the pain in the heel, or higher up on the ankle?

Why mention Gout are you very overweight?

Could be certain footwear causing it

I get this, went to a and e and diagnosed gout. It wasn't gout, if you have gout a feather hurts. Mine was relieved by a massage when it flares up.

Other than that I'm sorry, I have no idea but don't be fobbed off with no real diagnosis 💪 try some anti inflammatory tabs though, can't hurt.

Hi, thanks for your answers. I think it's plantar fasciitis. Had a night of agony until I went downstairs on my bum and found a strong painkiller. Much better now after a day of resting but won't be setting out on any long hikes. Doctor's appointment later today.

Planter fasciitis takes a long time to go away. Buy prosthetic insoles for your shoes and do the exercises (see online). Sit with your feet up in the evenings. Some people say Oofo shoes help but they aren’t wide enough for my feet. I find wearing shoes with a back is important.

Hrt completely sorted my PF, fwiw.

You have my sympathy, it's awful.
