hi all,
I have been getting severe pain and burning in the sole and sides of my left foot. It definitely flares up more during and after walking. I had an xray and there is no break, but thats what the side feels like. The rest near my heels is really sore muscles...anyone had this or might know what it is and how to relieve it?

Could it be plantar fasciitis? I have plantar fasciitis and it hurts my whole foot. You would need another X-ray to confirm
Sounds like planter faciitis. Best to see a podiatrist.

Get some Birkenstock sandles, they mould to ur foot and provide great support for foot pain. I have lived in them for years now since I saw a podiatrist who suggested them. Also strap ur foot with tape for planter fasciitis for extra support. You should be able to find some instructions on the net.

I have plantar fasciitis and get some relief from comfrey cream. Just rub it on and give it a while to work. At 11pm last night I could barely walk. Popped on some cream and this morning managed a morning on my feet cooking up a weeks worth of meals with minimal pain. Even tonight it's only a light niggly ache.
Wear good shoes.
Google stretches and make time to do them, it only takes a few minutes.
Go to a specialist. I have arthritis in my foot and ankle and it feels very similar to what you’re describing. Ask for a bone scan as well to rule other things out.
