Hurts like a bitch. I had one when I was roofing. The tar made it almost impossible to walk.

Can you walk properly?

Are you going the acid or the chryo route?

ER tech here at work had one a couple years ago.   It was near the upper arch / lower ball of her foot area.  It was about the size of a half piece of rice on the outside of her foot.  But the doctor had to go in and basically dig out a mass the size of a grape under the skin.  When they are ingrown, it is the worst.  She missed about 2 months of work due to that and spent another few months learning how to walk correctly again.  All the time she had it, it threw her gait out and her body adapted to the abnormal gait in an effort to take pressure off the painful spot.

Mine are pretty deep in there. I thought they were bunions at first. And yeah, the pain is starting to effect my stride.

Never let something effect your stride or make you lose pep in your step!

Did you go full rambo and remove it yourself like xfactor? How did you release yourself of this burden,

I've read a lot of people doing this, but I've had one wart at least 2-3 years. Perhaps yours was closer to the surface?

Had one once. Went to doctor 20+ times and she froze it and scraped it off little by little. Nasty feeling.  :-[

Did the same thing in my arches when I was a teen.  Walked on bare feet for a few weeks in the summer to harden them and it didn't even hurt when they were cut out.

It was. It looked like a big crater in my toe. The thing looked like an octopus coming out, had weird looking tentacle type shit.

How the fuck did you make sure that even a tiniest piece of root was not left behind? My doc had to use a microscope to ensure it was clear. It looked good to the naked eye, but with a microscope, she could see some roots still that would grow back.

Conclusion. I call bullshit

I had one on my finger and accidentally wedged it between 2 doors and it popped out.  I was happy about that.

-Thought I had one on the sole of my foot. I went to the Podiatrist who diagnosed it as a callous, probably developed as a result of a change in my gate gait. So now I'm using a pumice stone to reduce its size, rubbing Vaseline into the area to soften it and occasionally a corn pad to relieve the pressure on it. It seems to be getting better.

It was a relief to know that it was not a plantar wart, which is human papillomavirus (HPV). While it is not highly contagious, it thrives in environments such a locker room and shower floors.

I had one on the ball of my foot when I was in the Army. I could barely walk. The medical assistant froze it with liquid nitrogen  then took a scalpel and carved it out.

Did you change your gate or gait?

You a wallbuilder too?

ESF had one on his toe that what's his name who was a dick to everyone even his family stood besides at the urinal.

He just went down to the prison work shop and ran his foot across the circular saw.  Sewed it back up with hair off the back of a Charles Manson wannabe and then went on past midnight as scheduled in his underground prison fight.

Never had plantar warts, but I've had plantar fasciitis

I had plantar fascitis twice. The first time I was cured through a private message on this board. Back when we had a few girls on the board one wrote me and said to buy a birkenstock arch support. She said they are as hard as a rock and she wasn't wrong. It pushed hard into the arch as I walked and stretched the arch out. Took about 7 days to go painless and I continued to wear the arch thing for months. The second time I was training for a 5K and wanted instant relief.  A foot doctor with a harpoon of needle said to point where the most painful section was. He jabbed that thing in there and squirted cortisone in. The next day the pain was gone. As you know it's incredibly painful.

Thanks for catching my error. I did fix one of my gates which wasn't closing all the way. The other was an involuntary change in my gait.

I have it at the moment, but nowhere near as bad as it was. I'm putting silicone gel pads in the heals of my shoes which seem to be helping. But I have to stay away from deadlifts as it causes a flare up.

I may have to consider cortisone in the future though.

Not a doctor here. This is my 2 cents worth. I think because of age or over use the arch becomes stiff and prone to tearing. Regular calf stretching will help but what will make the arch more flexible and less prone to micro tears that hurt like hell is doing stuff like walking around with a stiff birkenstock arch support that pushes into your arch when standing or walking. Also try stuff like rolling your arch on a can of soup or a rolling pin to stretch it out. Cortisone injections worked for me. Doc said it will soften the tissue and take away the inflammation. Used too many times and it causes it's own problems.  They also have some cutting edge treatments too but not every foot doctor has the machine. I think it's called shock wave. Also when sleeping you should wear a splint to keep your foot from falling forward. This contributes to the tightness and that excruciating first step in the morning. You can find these on the web. See a foot doctor.  He might be able to fix it with one visit if he shoots the cortisone in the right spot and if it's not a bad tear.

Had that twice. The first time had sucess treating it with daily drops of some kind of gluey med. The second time had to do surgery, where the doctor burned it and it fell off e week later or so.

Worked for me. He injected the cortisone directly into the most painful section.  The most painful foot shot is when I had a thing called morton's neuroma.  It's when a nerve is damaged in your foot. I had a double neuroma meaning two nerves damaged. Happened when I had my running shoes tied too tight and I damaged the protective covering of the nerves. It's the most painful thing. I could barely walk.

The treatment for it is cortisone shots from the top of the foot to the bottom with a long thick gauge needle. I had five shots though about 6 weeks. On one shot the needle came out the bottom of my foot when he accidentally went too far. Every shot was some kind of mid evil torture. Took 6 months overall for the pain to completely go away.

Foot doc says they're calluses. Probably gonna see another doc to confirm. Didn't know calluses hurt that much.

Besides the stretches, what is helping me massively is silicone gel sole inserts, that go along the length of the foot, they can be found in most pharmacies.

Yes - I’ve got some of them, A big help.
I’m finding icing my foot at least twice a day for 25-45mins helping
Also really hard squeezing & massage of my heel ( Hurts Like Hell ) very Helpful.
