I have tenderness on the tuberosity of the fifth metatarsal. it hurts at times when I walk and has a burning feeling to it. If I apply pressure on the tuberosity with my finger or bump it, it really burns. How do I treat it? I do tend to walk on the outside of my foot, that s where my shoes wear, and I ve started walking much more than I used to, 3 to 5 miles a day.
Hello, I have studied your case and reportsCanal stenosis leads to burning/numb sensation and pain in your foot. MRI shows mild to moderate disc bulge with canal stenosis. Another possibility of metatarsal stress fracture. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level.
