Constant foot pain

There is clearly not enough information offered here to draw any meaningful conclusions, even at to whether your abnormal gait is, in fact, associated with your pain, especially as I assume "constant" pain would mean that the foot is painful even when not ambulating. It is unclear to me as to what exactly you mean by "dragging your foot," but I am making the guess that if it is associated with what you are terming "paddle foot," which I assume means picking the foot up and placing it flat on the ground with the next step without the motions normal involved in the gait cycle where there is heel strike, followed by full foot weight bearing, followed by toe-generated push off, you may well have a neurological or neuromuscular condition, such as but not limited to drop foot. Any further commentary on your problem would require a more defininative description, but while general impressions might be forthcoming in a forum venue, diagnosis would require an extensive hands-on evaluation. Again, the pain may or may not be associated with the abnormal gait.

 

The pain is all of the time, no matter if I am on the foot or not. To touch to skin on the bottom of the heal there is very little feeling. The pain is deep inside. And yes when I put my foot down when walking there is no rocking motion from heel to toe.

You still haven't clarified to my understand as to exactly what you mean by "dragging the foot." The fact that you obviously have at least a sensory deficit and mention no trauma, infection or inflammation which might account for pain off of weight-bearing, I would still be left with thinking it a good possibility that you have either a neurological or neuro-muscular problem. I would think it a waste of your effort and possibly valuable time to try to obtain your diagnosis on the Internet. You need to have a real diagnosis, which can only be achieved by traditional face to face interaction with a doctor . . very possibly a neurologist.

 

I guess what I mean is not entirely pick up the foot and putting it down. But thanks for your imput. As soon as I get insurance I am going to the Doc and see what is going on. My problem is with the left foot. In 2001 I broke the right foot, After 4 months it would not heal so surgery was done after 6 weeks it still would not heal so I was put on a bone growth stimulator. It did finaly heal. I was on crutches for 7 months. So I don't understand the left foot problem.
