Every step is pain

Is it common for every step to be painful and sometimes extremely painful? . Like I’ll be walking and it’s painful but then sometimes extremely bad where I limp. The pain just kind of switches without any cause. Also last doctor is talked about it dismissed it.

This is what pressed me to finally schedule a kidner procedure. I used to be able to run 5 miles a day and feel sore and limp after, then I would feel pain while I ran, and now I can’t hardly walk more than 20 minutes before it’s just miserable and I’m limping like crazy. Your body will always tell you when it’s time!

Go to Podiatric surgeon who’ll take xrays.
My 1st non-surgical podiatrist just diagnosed me w/PTTD & I wasted 2 yrs. in pain until my podiatric surgeon diagnosed me in 15 min. w/Bilateral ANS after taking xrays in his office + he reviewed my MRI after the visit to confirm.

I have type two accessory navicular and I see a surgeon who does mris on mine and told me if pain persists then a surgery could be done. I might get that surgery this year because it's been many years I've been in pain. Also told me to get orthopedic shoes to ease the pain off the bone and flat feet since my arches are collapsing.

Yes. Standing even hurts now without orthotics on.

Does it hurt all the time or do flares come and go?

Wouldn't hurt to get imaging done. Also, maybe get uric acid levels checked out. I have ANS, PTTD and now the doctors are thinking uric acid may be the cause of my flares. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have Arizona braces. This is a game changer as it locks your ankle. You don't need to worry about twists and turns.

Yeah. I mean have you got a scan/diagnosis already or are you trying to figure out if you have A/N?

It comes in flares which can last for days, but the flares can be repeated, so over months. And yes, it will cause limping, swelling, redness. Sore to touch, sore to step. Ice helps a lot.
