The causes of an unprovoked sore foot generally include a large amount of exercise, trauma, tendinitis, gout, fractures, etc., which need to be treated in detail according to the specific etiology. 1. When the amount of exercise is large or excessive, the foot muscles may be damaged due to fatigue and excessive use, resulting in local muscle strain or inflammatory reaction, which may cause sore foot. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of exercise, pay attention to rest, and give the foot enough recovery time. 2. Trauma If the patient's instep is hit or squeezed by external force, it may cause instep tissue damage, including soft tissue contusion, ligament strain or even fracture, which may cause local swelling and pain. At this time, it is necessary to use a cold towel for local cold compress, and it is also necessary to raise the affected limb to reduce local damage. 3. Tendonitis Tendonitis is usually caused by strain, infection or overuse, resulting in sterile inflammation of tendons and surrounding tissues. In the instep area, tendonitis can cause localized swelling, pain and limited mobility. Therefore, it is necessary to use aspirin enteric-coated tablets, ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, acemetacin sustained-release capsules and other drugs according to the doctor's instructions, which can promote the production of prostaglandin and relieve pain. 4. Gout is hyperuricemia caused by abnormal uric acid metabolism in the body. Urate crystals deposit in joints, soft tissues and other parts, causing inflammatory reactions and swelling pain. In the instep area, gout can be manifested as local redness, hot pain and dysfunction. At this time, it is necessary to follow the doctor's request to use benzbromarone tablets, butazone tablets, allopurinol tablets and other drugs to maintain normal uric acid levels and alleviate the disease. 5, fracture If the patient's local tissue fracture, may lead to the continuity and integrity of the bone structure is destroyed, leading to local swelling, pain and dysfunction. At this time, through plaster fixation or internal fixation surgery to deal with, can reduce local pain. If the patient's condition continues to develop, at this time actively consult the doctor, according to the actual situation to adjust the treatment plan, in order to control the development of the disease.
