How Do I Know if My Foot Pain Is Serious?

Everyone deals with foot pain from time to time and often, and it’s usually not a serious issue. Maybe your feet are sore from standing all day or wearing uncomfortable shoes. However, when foot pain continues, it can really affect your life and interfere with your daily activities. It’s important that you can identify foot pain and understand when it might be something more serious that you could be dealing with. Dr. Keith Rosenthal, Dr. Julian Sansone, and Dr. Matthew Blutfield at The Foot and Ankle Center in Howell Township and Brick, NJ, and serving Jackson, NJ, can explain when foot pain might be a sign of a more serious condition that you might be dealing with.

When is Foot Pain Serious?

Every once in a while, you may sustain a minor injury like stubbing your toe or your feet could be sore from standing all day. When foot pain continues and stops you from enjoying your favorite activities, it’s time to talk to your doctors in Howell Township and Brick, NJ, and serving Jackson, NJ, to find out what the underlying issue might be.

If you notice that you’re consistently dealing with pain and it’s hard for you to walk or stand without pain, it could be a sign that you’re dealing with a serious problem. Some common conditions that you could deal with include:

  • Bunions
  • Hammertoe
  • Heel Spurs
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Neuromas
  • Stress fracture
  • Ankle sprain

Each issue affects different areas of the foot and it’s important that you aren’t ignoring your pain and just hoping that it’ll go away on its own. Often, treatment is necessary to ease your pain, and ignoring it could lead to more serious issues that aren’t as easy to treat.
