Strange foot feeling

[K87]

One for the medics out there..... had a bit of a foot pain come on middle of last week, wasn't too serious, back of my foot hurt a little if I out a lot of force on it or when going up and down stairs it was quite noticeable.

Now it seems to have slowly got better over the time but I have an odd feeling when i bend my straighten and bend my ankle, it kinda of feels like something is grinding a bit down the back of my foot?? Not in a particularly painful way, just feels odd.

It also tends to stiffen up a bit if I havent put any weight on it for a while.

Any suggestions? It came on pretty suddenly, I don't remember anything specific which could have caused it.

I think you really need to take this to the GP if it is worrying you sufficiently - the symptoms you have described are pretty vague and I would certainly want to have a feel of the area in question and move it around to see what ellicits the pain, and be able to feel it in comparison with the other foot, to see if it is inflammed, restricted in movement etc.

When you describe the "back of the foot" are you referring to the heel area, around the achilles tendon?

Sorry not to be more helpful.
