My heel has been hurting for the past two weeks, worse and worse. The more I limp around, the more it hurts. Doctor's out of the question, so... does anyone have any tips or home remedies for an injured foot? T-T

Put some ice on that leg first and stay off of it whenever you can.

Any recent injury? How long ago did the pain start? Is it a sharp pain? Did you get new shoes recently or did you start up a new workout routine? What type of shoes do you regularly wear? Is the pain localized or does it radiate? Is there any redness or swelling? How does the heel look?

scrub MD has no medical advice. Hope you fell better though!

I think it's funny he asks the same sort of questions I do when diagnosing computers xd

Any recent errors? How long ago did the errors start? Is it an audible error? Did you get new hardware or software recently? What type of operating system do you use? Do the error happen with just one program or anywhere? Is there any slowing or lag? Have you tried turning it on and off again?

The pain is different every day. Sometimes it's under the front of the ankle, sometimes it's along that outer bottom side, the worst is when it's right where my heel connects to the side of my foot. I think it could be from the shoes I've been wearing. o.o; Over winter I had to stop wearing sandals and I've just been borrowing Mom's old work shoes. I switched to an old pair of sneakers for a few days and the pain seems to be fading.

The intarwebs seems to say the solution is to wear ugly orthopaedic shoes. But this afternoon I was in a grocery line with a little old lady and a sexy lady my age, and guess which one was wearing the ugly, clunky good-for-your-feet shoes? =_= I hate shoes. ;_;

Sounds like your mom's old shoes don't have good support, if you need to use those shoes again it'd be best to get some insoles. If the pain gets worse as the day goes on, that would support the notion. I want to preface any advice by saying that I'm no doctor yet so if the pain gets worse or persists. So many factors that could cause problems are things that you need to see or ask more personal questions or things that I don't even know to ask.
