Just been down the quacks
 

Sorry for the humourus title people, but i needed to cheer myself up. Anyway onto my problem, i went down the doctors this morning for the nurse to look at my foot. Everytime i walk on it it is dreadfully painful, so i thought to myself i have bruised it.

Anyway as it is painful im having to limp and walk on my to. I know this isnt a good idea and i know what you lot are thinking. Anyway the nurse said it was to do with my tendon, so im thinking but thats not where the ****ing pain is, although i didnt actually use those words. ;) .

So she gave me these exercises to do on a daily basis but i cant see them helping as the pain is actually in my foot and not in my tendon. I personally think i have bruised it myself and my mums going to bring a bandage home with her so maybe that will help.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Where is it in your foot? The sole-back/middle/front? Achilles?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Bragging again eh Wayne :rolleyes: :D

Now answer the nice bonecruncher that is Rammy :tu: he'll look after your foot or so ..... ;)

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

middle to front

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

From a for bruises you could try "Arnica gel". However I have heard of displaced pain ie. a headache with pain at the front can be caused by tension in the neck.

You should always try to see a doctor if you are not happy with the diagnoses the nurse gave you.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Underneath.....ie-the sole of the foot?

Here is a piccy of the sole of the foot..........as you can see there are tendons where you wouldn't think of them being......perhaps the nurse was correct.......
Maby you can copy the pic and photoshop or ms paint a cross where it hurts.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

The pain is on top. When she mentioned the tendon, i think she meant the one to the back of my leg.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Am I permitted to hijack this thread? If so.....

I'm off to see the quack on monday, I have a bit of an embarrassing problem which I'm sure you'll all take great amusement in hearing about.

If not........I'll bear it in mind when we chose the new team member ;) :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Go on then i need cheering up.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

So not only your bald the missus is complaining then ;) :angel: :disturbd:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I've got the nastiest case of the Chalfonts ever - and no you're NOT getting a photo :disturbd:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Chalfonts????? Educate me please.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Anyone else fancy dealing with this......please??

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Would it involve the need for a mini innertube per chance?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Spot on - I'm currently pricing up a pile-cam as we speak.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I take it you're not cycling to the quack then?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

No

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

They rubber band them nowadays, then let them drp off. :Yikes:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Errrrrm........ Rammy?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

You think I'm letting him anywhere near them! Ohh noooo matron.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I want him to suggest a possible cure for me. :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Ouch, that sounds like what my feet do sometimes, maybe if I run a short distance, or if I've been running for a while.

Thought it was perfectly normal, apart from a few niggles playing footy I don't recall having injured them... and when it's hurt for a bit, about a minute or two, it just clears off again. :(

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Oh....ar*s grapes!........try icing them (gently).....also try prepH :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

It may be an issue with where the tendon is attached to the bone, that would account for the pain being in a different place, I had that a while ago.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Do you mean near the top of that piccy, just below the bony bit (named the calcaneus)?

also--how long has it been hurting?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

If the doc removes them I wonder what I'd get for the little buggers on Ebay?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

lol...........seriously though--try icing them if they are external.....it cuts down the inflammation but it's not very dignified to ice your 'rosebud' :rofl:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Well I respect the advice from Dr Ramrod MD but I think I'll wait to see what my own quack says first :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Well you got the 'Dr' bit right but not the 'MD' :D
That'll be prepH or something similar then....or if they are too big then removal.........good luck! Have fun :disturbd: :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Oh yeah, loads of fun in store for me....

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

When you say "on top" do you mean on top of the picture that Rammy posted or "on top" of your foot?

You can get referred pain that may lead you to think that the primary cause is in a place where it isn't.

Difficult to assess over a forum isn't it Rammy. My first thought on reading the post was Plantar Faciitis but it with out a more detailed examiniation it could be metatarsalgia or Achilles bursitis.....etc etc.

Wayne.
Is it worse in the morning?
When you say walking on your toes do you mean tip toes or deviating your foot on it's side/towards the little toe?
Can you clarify if the pain is worse on the top of your foot or the bottom ie sole versus the other side?
Does prodding the area with your finger reproduce it?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

'moist' toilet tissue, straight from the fridge, is very soothing.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Sorry to hear you are in pain. I hope whatever it turns out to be, you get better soon.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I know (and nigh on impossible to treat :D ), and now he's buggered off without saying! :mad: :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

...especially when you can't use terms like dorsal, medial, ipsilateral etc...which would ideal for forum descriptions.... :rolleyes:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Ach......I had them once......usually no big deal once you get the inflammation down :)

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Ok looking at that diagram that Rammy posted, its from the Brevis.

I walk on tip toes.

Pain is worse on top of foot.

Prodding the area where the pain is does reproduce it. It s worse in the morning.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Get some baby wet wipes Russ and eat plenty of fruit, I have never suffered with them but I hear that helps.

Oh and Ramrod is very good so listen to him Wayne :)

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

but where on flexor digitorum brevis? Near the top of the pic (in the white tendony looking bit named the 'plantar aponeurosis') or more towards the bottom nearer the toes?
and how long have you had it and how did it start?

Hang on.............can you dig out a piccy from the web and label it up for us with an arrow pointing to where it hurst plz :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Course i can, just give me 2 mins.

I think its it Navicular

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I tried that once - it's a bugger trying to get the piping bag into the right place though :erm:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Gives a Nelson Muntz style laugh. :)

And if you don't watch The Simpsons, I am in trouble, aren't I? :erm:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Right, we are looking at the top of the foot in that piccy......with a pain in that area my first thought would be that you had knocked it or perhaps were wearing a new pair of shoes a bit tight...........?

Is there any swelling or redness in the area that hurts?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

No no redness, though my mum has bought a support bandage home for me to wear. I must say it feels better than it was.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I hear a Chicken Phal is a really good cure for the dreaded chalfonts Russ!:angel:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Well I think I'll pass on that if it's all the same, but there are certain toys out there with names like (I kid you not!) "Pile Buster"! :Yikes: :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Unfortunately, in this case (given the location of the pain) without being able to examine your foot it's going to have to be filed under 'continuing mystery'. You may have hit it on something, you may have irritated it with footwear, you may even have misaligned a joint in your foot--which can give pain and an inability to walk properly. Without examining it we will never know. Sorry m8 :shrug:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

:rofl:

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Another totally confusing thread.I've kind of got lost both with diagnosis and cure for either conditon...But at least it's given me a laugh..Hope you both feel better soon. ;)

Let us hope no one else hijacks this thread either or it will get confusing with a three way convo. :)

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

I am kinda lost to????

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Right, to recap for you ladies.............
Wayne has got a sore foot which, due to the location of the pain, is defying easy, offhand diagnosis.
Russ has haemorrhoids and is proving reticent in trying the treatment I have suggested while he waits to see the GP.....maby he likes a warm a*se :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

So *please* don't get the two parts of the thread confused...! :Yikes: :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Either a pain in the foot or a pain in the butt. Or Cheese and Grapes!

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

What the hell is a quack?

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

a doctor lol

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

:erm: :rofl:.......sorry m8 :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

obviously only speculation ;)

- but well summed up :tu:

please make sure any 'baby wipes' are flushable - dispose of otherwise, if not - they can block pipes - but chilling the area is :cool: - don't apply ice directly to the skin unless you really want to, though ;)

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Wheres Damien the duck when you need him? :D

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

Ok to recap on my foot so far, my mum bought a support bandage home from work which has help an awful lot. My dad bought home these kind of wiprs which feel like they burn your foot after about half an hour so that has taken the pain down an awful lot, so hopefully i will find it easier to climb the stairs tonight.

Re: Just been down the quacks
 

How's the foot now?
