Most of the time, you can guess why your feet hurt. Maybe you walked a lot, wore new shoes the day before or stubbed your toe – these are all relatively common sources of foot pain and discomfort. However, when the pain persists and you don’t know why or how to relieve it, it can be concerning and even disrupt your day-to-day life.
Nearly any part of your foot can be affected by pain, whether it’s your heel, bones, ligaments, toenails, joints or tendons, and each type of pain can result in a different diagnosis. For example, if your heels hurt, it may be due to heel spurs, arthritis or bursitis, or it could be the result of a fracture or tendon rupture. Since there are so many possible causes of foot pain, it’s critical to see a professional, like Dr. Donna Barrese in East Windsor and Lawrenceville, NJ, for an accurate assessment.
When it comes to aching feet, there tends to be a handful of very common causes, one of which could be the reason why your feet hurt.
Keep in mind that these are just some of the potential causes of your foot pain, and they certainly do not apply to everyone’s individual situation. The only way to receive a definitive answer is to speak with a podiatrist about your case.
Living with even the slightest foot pain can prove difficult, or even unbearable, for anyone. If you’re concerned or the pain is impeding your lifestyle, talk to Dr. Donna Barrese before the condition worsens. You can schedule an appointment online or stop by one of our two New Jersey locations for a thorough examination, diagnosis and treatment plan.
