extensor digitorum brevis on the left foot is very small and have heel pain in that foot, what could be some causes of this? It s small in comparison to the one on the right foot, and compared to other peoples that I ve been looking at on the internet an in person. I ve had no previous injuries to this foot beside maybe a mild sprain a few years ago, although that may have been my right ankle I can t remember that s how mild it was. Also my left ankle seems to be leaning in toward the arch, either that or the foot is just so flat due to the lack of the muscle that it seems this way.
HELLO DEAR FRIEND, SEE AS YOU MENTIONED extensor digitorum breves on the left foot is very small, BUT ACTUALLY ITS SMALL MUSCLE SITUATED ON UPPER PART OF FOOT, AND YOUR COMPLAIN IS ABOUT HEEL! SO FIRST YOU DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH ANY OTHER, BECAUSE WE ALL ARE UNIQUE IN NATURE, THE CAUSE OF YOUR HEEL PAIN MAY BE DUE TO HIGHER LOAD AND OVER EXERTION TO SPRING LIGAMENT IN FOOT, AND CONTINUOUS STRETCHING FORCE N PLANTAR FASCIA...... IF YOUR FOOT ARCH IS DECREASED THEN THE FORCE OF WHOLE BODY WILL BE ON HEEL SO YOU HAVE TO STRENGTHEN FOOT MUSCLES BY VARIOUS EXERCISES.... YOU CAN TAKE ULTRASONIC THERAPY FOR IMMEDIATE PAIN RELIEF. I HOPE THIS GUIDANCE WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU, IF SO YOU CAN RATE HELPFUL.THAN
