Tearing pain in my foot...

Hey guys,

Just under 2 weeks ago i jumped into a door and sprained my right foot. It's still a bit tender but getting close to recovery. Since yesterday a new pain has seemed to crop up when i walk - it feels like there's something tearing in the sole of my foot & it is very painful. Is it something i should be worried about or just give it time?

its horrible :frown:

don't know what it is though. (i think perhaps its cause i wear heels so often? but maybe not.)

Occasionally i get cramp in my foot which feels like what you have described... does it go quite quickly afterwards or it like that all the time? If it only lasts for a short period it sounds like cramp. Although id have no idea how this is linked to your injury but oerhaos its causing you to hold your foot differently?

I used to get that when I wore shoes that were way too loose and didn't support my foot enough. Try wearing something more supportive maybe?

Where exactly is the pain, and what makes it feel better/worse? We won't be able to diagnose you over the Internet (!) but if you give some more details we can give some suggestions. :smile:
