pain on sole of foot

Have been getting the exact same pain in the same foot now for past 3-4 days, its only in the sole of my left foot. The only way i can describe the pain is like there is a pole stuck there... not sure if im having a little flare as my chest has been playing up too today an this is just an extra symptom?!

Where on your sole?

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

its kind of in the middle but abit more towards the heel then the toes if that makes sense

[PMRpro in reply to Hidden]

Under your instep you mean? I'd wondered if it was a bone spur but that would be at your heel. I wonder what plantar fasciitis feels like in the early stages?

which cheerfully points out it is a feature of SLE!

I was just going to say sounds like plantar fascitis. I had that bad for awhile. Now i hav pain on the outside of my left foot along the edge. Feels like sharp needles. Just pain. I put peppermint oil on it when its real bad. Helps a lot. Plantar fascitis if you massage a lot or get that boot to sleep with. Weird thing is it will probably go away eventually and then end up somewhere else in thebody. Ugh! Feel better.

I know the joys... it's a good job we have this forum for other people to understand that. People without the illness will just think I'm a hypercondriac

I have pain in the soles of my feet sometimes quite often it is in the morning when I get up and it is painful walking downstairs then I waddle about like a penguin for a bit and it goes away .

Hi Hidden ,

We have a factsheet about lupus and the feet which you may find helpful. You can read and download it here - lupusuk.org.uk/wp-content/u...

one thing to try out is buy putting a can of bean under your foot asnd role the tin with your foot for a couple of weeks see if that helps any IT MAY DO loosesns all the tendons

When the soles of my feet flare, the pain is on the balls of my feet and the heals not the instep.

hi Leanne21bull - I too had pain although mainly in the ball of the foot, but as with everything lupus it moved about and also kept me up at night - I had it for ages until I linked it to the lupus and then on mentioning it to the consultant he gave my amitriptyline - which I have taken since - you often don't realise how bad it is until it stops!! - I know we are all different but worth talking over with consultant - hope this helps -
