ok really hoping someone can help me out with this because its a bit weird. first of all, important data:
do your feet hurt (like pressing on a bruise) after like half an hour of walking
yes, im in pain most of the time i walk somewhere
no, it takes a couple of hours at least
op are you ok???? my feet only hurt after hiking for like 6 hours???
See Resultsok heres the deal. for most of my life, every time i have walked or stood up for more than 20-30 minutes, my feet hurt. not uncomfortable, PAINFUL. like pressing on a bruise painful. if i walk/stand for more than 3-4 hours its a SHARP pain like blisters, except there are no blisters and none form later (unless my shoes were rubbing or something, which if im wearing my usual trainers they dont)
I always thought this was normal and that everyone just grits their teeth through pain to do fun stuff like go to a zoo or a museum or a theme park. but i told my dad about it recently after a day out and he was like “what the fuck go to a doctor thats not normal my feet only feel uncomfortable right now they dont Hurt”
so i want to know how common this is. does anyone else get this? and what might be causing it?
information that may or may not be significant, just including it in case any of it is relevant to a condition i havent heard of:
- i am diagnosed with adhd and working on an autism diagnosis
- i am hypermobile (not diagnosed yet but. my neck and arms definitely hyper extend, and ive been able to touch the floor without bending my knees my whole life without stretching regularly, so i know i am)
- my hands swell up in extreme temperatures. expecially if im exercising at the same time. i used to have to get other people to do up my shirt buttons after PE in school because i couldnt bend my fingers enough to do them myself
- i bruise very easily. my brother likes to poke and prod me to get on my nerves and if he pokes just a little too hard, i bruise. also scratching my leg through my trousers causes me to bruise
- i get friction pains on my hands if im doing something like carrying a heavy bag with a cloth handle or opening a tight jar
- i have very dry skin and suffered from excema as a child/teenager
i have been looking into EDS and i think i might have hEDS, so idk if any of this is related to that. my dad also thought the foot pain might be an autism sensory issues thing?
if anyone can relate to any of this please tell me about your experiences and what causes it because that would be super helpful
thank you
