Why does my right foot hurt?

If your shoes aren't a problem, you may have one of several conditions that cause foot pain. Arthritis, a fractured or broken bone, gout, tendinitis plantar fasciitis can all make your feet hurt. You're more likely to have foot problems as you get older and your joints wear down. One may flatten a little more than the other during weight-bearing or one might sit at a different angle to your direction of travel than the other. Additionally, your joints may have different degrees of motion from one foot to the other. You should seek immediate medical attention if you have severe pain or swelling, especially after an injury. You should also seek medical attention if you have an open wound, signs of infection, or are unable to walk on your foot.
