Pain after buckling

Foot buckling happens quickly during abrupt braking movements, after a jump or due to unsuitable footwear. A short time later a severe pain can follow with increasing swelling of the foot. Possibly the cause is overstretching, i.e. spraining or tears in tendons and ligaments.

Not infrequently, a sprain of the foot is more painful than a torn ligament. The pain can radiate to the entire foot and, depending on which ligament is torn, also to the back of the foot. If the pain persists for a longer period of time, a doctor should make a precise diagnosis in order to rule out injuries to the bone.

Pain while running

Many sportsmen or even leisure joggers develop pain on the instep of their feet after running or even while running. The pain can be oppressive or even burning. It is not uncommon for the pain to persist for a few days or to reoccur after a long run.

Here are some possible causes. Running a lot can lead to a fatigue fracture.A fracture develops insidiously in an overstressed bone. In a runner, this can often be the foot or even the shinbone.

The fatigue fracture manifests itself with a pressure pain and swelling of the soft tissue. The diagnosis is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging or conventional x-rays. If, in addition to pain at rest, pain in movement occurs when the toes are pulled on, an inflammation of the extensor tendons of the toes may be responsible for the discomfort.

The affected person also has pain when walking. At the same time, the foot may be swollen and reddened and feel warm. Furthermore, even a simple reason can cause pain when running.

Running shoes that are too tight or too tightly bound can cause pain. It is not uncommon for the feet to swell slightly due to the strain. In a shoe that is too tight, the blood supply can be impaired and the foot starts to tingle and hurt.
