Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

My left leg aches constantly, feeling like growing pains. It's challenging to walk due to the pain. What could be causing this?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

If your shoes aren't the issue, several conditions could be causing your foot pain. Arthritis, fractures, gout, tendinitis, or plantar fasciitis are potential culprits. An X-ray is advisable to diagnose the problem, especially as joint issues become more common with age.

 

Thanks
