I have suddenly developed a pain on the side of my foot and can think of no reason why this should be, ie. haven't twisted an ankle etc. When I lift my heel off the ground to lean forward/sideways I get a sharp pain with the sensation of skin tearing. It's also starting to hurt when I walk. Anyone any idea what this is?

Sounds like inflammation to me aggie, can't think of any other reason. Hope it gets better soon

Just can't understand why it's suddenly appeared out of the blue.....very strange!

Hi Aggie,
Have you worn any different type of shoe that you are not use to? Did you do any extra walking or something.
When I wear something new (like heels) I know it hurts for the next several days when I walk.

Those two questions popped into my head when I read your post. I hope the pain goes away soon.
Love,
Lyn

Hmmm, aggie have you been driving? My feet kill me when I get stuck in traffic and have to use too much clutch control

Hi Aggie

Once, a long time ago - well before I was diagnosed with SLE - I used to get a pain in my heel too. Whenever I lifted my heel off the ground, it almost felt like there was a weight inside my heel and it was knocking against my heel.

It went away eventually and I have no idea what it was or what caused it, so I'm not sure if it is useful for me to post this at all! It definitely wasn't caused by new shoes or extra exercise.

Obviously, I have no idea if your pain is the same as mine was - but I thought that you might find it comforting to know that other people have had bizarre aches and pains too that have just appeared out of the blue

Thanks Nellie. Will just mention it to my consultant next time I see him. Maybe he can shed some light!

I had this problem once. It turned out to be plantar facitis. I had to have therapy at a foot and ankle facility. hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will mention it to my GP if it continues.

Aggie,
I am not sure this has a name as I get it once in awhile, it comes and goes. I watch for bruising or swelling as that will tell more. When it just happens like you describe I use heating pad to help with the pain and as often as possible keep it up. I do hope you feel better soon and that it is not too much of a bother for you.
