it sounds to me that he might have a problem with his arch or instep. i would suggest an orthotic for his shoes. walmart has a machne where you step on a platform and it shows where you need help with your feet. it will tell you the number of the orthotic to buy and they have them right there to purchase. you will be surprised all the aches and pains you can have in your body that is from your feet. it costs nothing except your buying the orthotic.
my husband has been having pain in his ankles and feet and sometimes the shin area hurts too. any ideas? . i know this is not a diagnosis but you could maybe steer us in a certain direction. where we can maybe figure this out. he does take metaprolol lisinopril and aspirin daily. he describes the pain as tender to the touch and also hurts around the bones and joints. ibuprofen seems to help if taken daily any ideas as to where we might start trying to figure this out? his lab work was good except for a slight sodium deficiency.
