About the symptom

Sole pain may affect either or both soles. The sole is the bottom of the foot and may be due to many causes such as bone, tendon or muscle injury, cuts and bruises. The pain may be pressing, sharp or dull in nature. Sometimes, it may feel like a tearing pain.

Possible causes

  • Hallux valgus

    Hallux valgus, or a bunion, is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe when the big toe pushes against the next toe. Tight shoes, foot stress, and arthritis are common causes. It can lead to deformity.

  • Lumbar spondylosis

    A condition in which the backbones (lumbar spine) become damaged due to wear and tear. Risk factors include repetitive back strain, carrying heavy loads, and obesity.

  • Morton's neuroma

    Morton's neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of your foot, between the third and fourth toes. It results from swollen and inflamed nerves leading to your foot's toes. It is often caused by shoes that are too tight or have high heels, which can compress and irritate the nerves in your foot.

  • Fabry disease
