This morning I woke up and when I put my left foot onto the floor I experienced sharp pain in the sole of my left foot only . I can walk on it but for the last few hours it has been painful to do so. It is the front and back sole of the foot causing the problem I think. Can you offer any advise or remedy please.Thankyou,James
Hello It can be a symptom of condition called plantar fasciitis. However, we have to rule out other conditions before making a diagnosis. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. Soaking the foot in hot water will also help in symptomatic relief. If pain persist, you have to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. In severe cases steroid injection to the soles may be required. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
