COMPROMISED BLOOD FLOW CAN CAUSE OR WORSEN FOOT PAIN

Compromised blood flow to the feet can cause or worsen foot pain. Various factors can affect the quality of blood flow to the feet, including whether you smoke or have diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, or blood clots. Poor circulation to the feet is a problem because "diminished blood flow may manifest itself as frank pain when the soft tissues are not being perfused with enough circulation," notes Tim Swartz, DPM, chief of podiatry at Kaiser Permanente's Mid-Atlantic region.

"Wound and tissue healing can also be a problem if there is compromised blood flow to the feet. That's why it's essential to tell your doctor about any numbness or tingling you have in your feet, as well as any chronic diseases, such as diabetes, arthritis, or vascular disorders that you have," says Dr. Swartz.
