The only creature that can walk straight is man. And sometimes he has to pay a very expensive price for it. In addition to the fact that the legs are forced to withstand body weight every minute, they also undergo considerable tests. Each step is a huge load on them.
If the person’s legs are healthy, then when walking the shock absorber is the foot, which takes up most of this load, protecting all organs, including the legs, from shock and shock.
However, as soon as the foot begins to deform, and this is the reason for the pain in the foot, serious problems appear.
What do we mean by the term “healthy lifestyle”? Is there a restriction in smoking and alcohol, daily morning runs, the exclusion of fast food from food? Yes, anything but leg health! A person is ready to wear tight shoes with high heels, which usually lead to a disease of the spine and deformation of the foot, recalling it only when the pain in the foot becomes unbearable ... And in return we get diseases such as arthritis, arthrosis and others.
If a person suddenly begins pain in the foot, then there can be a lot of reasons for them. To begin with, it is worth paying attention to the shoes that he wears, obeying the vagaries of fashion. After all, many choose it, based not on its wearing comfort, but only for the sake of beauty. Men sometimes walk in narrow shoes, women climb indecently high and unstable heels. And the foot suffers from this.
Another factor contributing to an adverse effect on the foot is an overweight person, because of which you have to endure pain in the foot in the morning, and in the evenings do various soothing baths, massage and use expensive creams and ointments.
One of the most common causes of pain is flat feet, which, contrary to popular belief, is not only congenital, but also acquired. At the same time, the ligaments and muscles weaken, the shape changes, and the longitudinal and transverse arches become denser. As a result, the shock absorber of the leg loses its main function. The legs begin to get heavier, pain in the foot appears when walking, hips, lower legs and lower back make themselves felt. At the first manifestations of such symptoms, you need to contact an orthopedist. As a rule, treatment - a comprehensive set of drugs, orthopedic insoles, massage and baths will greatly alleviate the condition of both the feet and knee joints.
Another reason that causes pain in the foot is arthritis - the destruction of joints due to the ingestion of a fungal, viral or bacterial infection. A rather sad clinical picture is observed - movements bring unbearable pain, which either intensifies or weakens. With this disease, a visit to the doctor should not be postponed. And the sooner treatment begins, the more effective it will be, the greater the patient’s chances to save the joint from deformation and destruction.
Sometimes a bone grows on the big toe, which causes a pathology such as arthrosis in the metatarsal joint. Signs - pain in the foot, swelling, redness, very fast fatigue. Arthrosis is being treated very successfully today.
All over the world there is such a disease that every sixth man and every fourth woman complains. This is varicose veins, when as a result of thickening of the veins appear spider veins. We must not allow the development of this disease, refuse hot baths and a sedentary lifestyle, hormonal drugs and smoking. And if the early stage of this disease has one drawback - cosmetic, then in the future, with an increase in the load on the foot, thrombophlebitis of the lower extremities may begin .
