Right foot pain while walking · no erythema or edema · no evidence of structural abnormalities · Dx?
A 24-year-old woman came to our clinic because she had pain in her right foot. Over the previous 4 weeks, she'd noticed increasing pain in the ball of her foot while walking and climbing stairs, particularly in the push-off portion of her gait. She described it as a nagging, localized pain that she rated as a 2 or 3 out of 10. It was an annoyance, but not unbearable.
