What causes pain in my instep on my left foot after stress fracture?
Patient: I have consideral pain in my instep on my left foot. It goes around to the right of my ankle. I have had an Xray but no result yet, the doctor was wondering if it is a stress fracture, but thinks not. could it be something serious? I have had the pain since Dec but iut has become steadily worse. Doctor: your symptoms suggest that you are suffering from palntar fascitis .its a inflammation of muscles that supports the arches of foot. toe stretching and hot fomentation at early morning just after awakening and analgesics such as ibuprofen will be helpful to you. if pain does not subside in 5-7 days then you should consult to rehab specialist and physical therapist .Hope this helps.Hope this answers your question.
