The Relation between Foot Pain and Running

• Do you enjoy running and you wish to run
  regularly? Well, running is definitely healthy
  and recommended by specialists as a health
  maintaining method. But it can also cause pains,
  especially in athletes who run on a regular basis.

• For persons who have hip pain running can be a
  cause. Although the main causes of hip pain are
  muscle strain, arthritis, bursitis and nerve
  irritation, direct impacts and overuse syndromes
  can also be met amongst the causes, especially at
  athletes. They should pay big attention to hip
  pains in order to avoid complications that might
  appear if the pain is not controlled.

Usually at athletes, the hip pain which appears
in the front of the hip and inner thigh is caused
by an adductor muscle pull or strain. This type
of pain usually occurs when the adductor muscles
are stressed beyond limits. But in order to make
sure you do not develop more serious problems, it
is always recommended to see a doctor, especially
if the pain persists.

• Another very common pain caused by running is the
  knee pain. Very common amongst runners and
  athletes, the knee pain from running can have the
  following symptoms

1. Pain behind or around the kneecap
2. Grinding or popping sensations in the knee
3. Swelling
4. Pain during the bending of the knee, such as when
   walking, running, kneeling, sitting or squatting
5. Much worse pain when walking downstairs or
   downhill

Knee pain diagnosis can be done by a doctor, by
having a thorough physical exam, which can also
include X-rays, Computed Tomography scans and
Magnetic Resonance Imaging. As long as the knee
pain is diagnosed, there can be followed certain
treatments that can heal the knee. If you have
knee pain, you can try to do the following
treatments for it to speed up the process of
healing

1. Rest the knee as much as possible in order to
   avoid putting weight on the knee
2. Put ice on your knee and keep it there for about
   20-30 minutes in order to reduce pain and
   swelling
3. Compress your knee to give it extra support. For
   this, you can use elastic bandage, sleeves or
   straps
4. Elevate your knee on a pillow each time you sit
   or lie down
5. Practice stretching and strengthening exercises,
   especially before running
6. Take anti-inflammatory painkillers, but only
   under medical prescription

10
Stretching and strengthening is also recommended
before running, as it prepares your body and
especially your feet for the effort that they
will face during running.

• Although pain is usually caused by running, you
  can still run safely as long as you take care and
  follow some indications. It is always important
  to wear the appropriate shoes when running, in
  order to avoid certain issues.

• You can always consult your doctor if the pain
  persists or becomes more powerful. This way, you
  can get the correct diagnosis of your pain and
  you avoid future complications in your feets
  health, as well as your overall health.
