Foot pain refers to pain anywhere from toes to the back of the heel and can be felt in the soles or top or side portion of the feet. Pain in the foot may affect ligaments, tendons, fascia, bone and joint. Foot pain can be caused by various reasons. The major among these is arthritis (inflamed joints). It mainly includes rheumatoid arthritis (joint inflammation from autoimmune process), osteoarthritis (degeneration of joints from wear and tear) and gout (inflamed joints due to high uric acid levels), injury, sprains and strains. Another cause can be bone spurs that are sharp, pointed bony outgrowths on the feet that mainly present in the heel, causing severe pain while stepping, standing, walking and running. Further causes are Achilles tendinitis, peripheral neuropathy and plantar fasciitis. Achilles tendinitis is the inflammation of the Achilles tendon (a tendon that connects the calf muscle in the back of the leg to the heel). The cause behind Achilles tendinitis is excessive stress and strain on the Achilles tendon. Peripheral neuropathy results in pain, numbness and tingling in the feet from damage to peripheral nerves. The pain is burning, sharp and stabbing in nature. The condition mainly results from diabetes, alcoholism and nerve trauma in the feet. Plantar fascia is a tissue connection between the toes and heel at the bottom of the feet. The main symptom is heel pain and inflammation that worsens in the morning before while taking a few initial steps, from standing and rising from a seat. Another cause can be corns that are thick, hard skin points from repeated friction and pressure.

Homeopathic medicines provide complete treatment in foot pain, whether of recent or chronic origin. These along with managing pain in the feet help to relieve any attending stiffness, swelling, redness, numbness, tingling in the feet effectively. The pain killers usually prescribed in mainstream medicine can be habit forming and also have side effects from prolonged usage, while homeopathy does not cause any adverse effects and does not create any dependency.
Homeopathy can handle cases of foot pain that arise from different causes like arthritis, high uric acid, bone spurs, injury, inflammation of tendons and fascia, bony outgrowths and pain of nervous origin (peripheral neuropathy). All these cases respond very well to homeopathic medicines.

Dr Sharma,
I m 76 yr old and pre diabetic. I m facing burning sensation in my both feet toes, last many yrs when I was not even pre diabetic. It used to be in summer more and in other seasons it was not regular but occasionally. Drs used to give vitamin B12. Now the burning sensation is more and almost regular. Any homeopathic treatment ? Pl suggest
I don’t see specific recommendation for metatarsalgia. I get this occasionally and it seems to come out of nowhere – but I’ll wake up in the AM one day and when I step down there is pain in the ball of one foot. This time it is the left foot but it has not always been. I have had a couple of bouts of gout over the years – always in my right foot, but from what I have read it is possible they are related. Although it is not normally mentioned for gout, Apis has on one or two occasions seemed to help. But not specifically with the ball of the foot pain, which is there when I step down and when I flex my toes but not when I am at rest
Helpful explanations.
I have ankle pain left foot and also at the place where leg meets the foot.
Please suggest medicine
