ladybug88 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Currently I dance in ballet flats and I am doing well but this part of my foot is constantly hurting. Especially doing certain moves and jumps in class. I won't be having class for a month now due to my teacher having surgery but I would like to know why this part of my foot hurts so much on this side but my other side is perfectly fine. I am trying to add a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahw Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hi ladybug 88 I think seeing a physio may be a good way to get a diagnosis. If it's hurt for a month it needs attention. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug88 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Physio? Is that a doctor for feet or??? Kind of sounds crazy to see a doctor about doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Physiotherapist is a non medical health professional trained in musculoskeletal health. In the UK it is generally better to see a physio before a general doctor (GP) who aren't well trained in this type of thing generally. Even if you can get direct access to an orthopaedic surgeon or rheumatologist in the UK I would personally still go for a physio first. They are better trained especially in rehabilitation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dramascientist Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 My sister who is a teacher has a problem with this part of her foot I cant remember what its called but I will contact her and ask. Try taking ibuprofen because I do know its an inflammatory problem. DRSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Physio? Is that a doctor for feet or??? Kind of sounds crazy to see a doctor about doesn't it? As sarahw says, a Physio is not a Doctor, but is a Medical Professional. If you search Google for "Dance Physiotherapist" or even "Sports Physiotherapist" in your area, they will examine your feet and be able to diagnose the cause of your pain. Alternately, if you know a good Chiropodist who is also qualified in Podiatry, they should also be able to help. None of us here are Medical Doctors or Physiotherapists (as far as I know) and although people can kindly offer you advice, without examining your foot nobody can give you a diagnosis over the internet. If it has been hurting for a month I would suggest you see a Medical Professional in person. Good luck. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jade Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi my daughter is having problems with her foot at the moment. (Mentioned in another post) she seen an nhs physio who was good but since went to see a local podiatrist who speacialise in feet . They went into much more detail and it was well worth paying out to see them x 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 And a Dr can't diagnose on line either! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
