Patient's question:
It's the pain on both sides of the ankle and the sole of the foot, I haven't fallen recently, it only started bothering me in the past few days. What kind of assistance do you need: I want to know if it's because I was missing something during the growth and development stage, or if there are other reasons.Doctor's answer:
Your two feet have different levels of pain, which is normal, because humans use their two feet to different extents, so the uniformity of muscle arrangement in the feet doesn't matter. The acupoints you mentioned for light pressing are Qiuxu (), which belong to the category of TCM acupoints. Category: Acupoints of the Gallbladder Meridian (); Original Point. Location: Medically, on the top of the foot, in front of the outer malleolus, lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon, in the depression between the subtalar joint. Effects: Soothe the liver and gallbladder, reduce swelling and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and activate Qi. Actually, I think it's because light pressing anesthetizes the muscle, which reduces pain. After the hospital's CT diagnosis of the foot condition, you can coordinate and perform many physical therapies together. Avoid overexertion, as it may lead to a recurrence of the condition.
