Are having pain in the hips and left foot sign of arthritis?
Patient: I sleep on my left side I have a history of sciatic nerve issue on that side however recently I have been experiencing hip pain and pain in the bottom of my left foot . After sitting or sleeping I cant put my total weight on my left foot. Most of the pain is on the heel area sometimes its in the arch area is this arthritis? Doctor: Hi,  It can be a sign of arthritis, we have to rule out other conditions mimicking the same symptoms.  As the first line of management, you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief.  If symptoms are severe better to consult a rheumatologist and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
