well on the left foot, the part that really hurts is the calf to the round bone on the foot. and on the right foot every time i apply pressure to it. but the left foot has the worst pain i think theres like some vein that got stuck or whatever cause my left foot is kinda swollen compared to my right . and on my knee it hurts every time when i stand up, walk or every time i make it straight.
the doctor told me that i just need to build up more muscle around my knee and the pain on my feet will gradually be gone.
am i the only one who got this kind of crap?
i really would appreciate your answers. hope you'd help me. i'm really nervous i cant even do the things that i want to do.

this is not normal. You need to see an orthopedic doctor as soon as possible. They are the best for what you are experiencing. I'm sure with proper medical treatment you will be feeling much better and able to do the things you enjoy.

Hey, I used to get growing pains in my hips and feet that were so painful I would hardly walk. I know it's hard and really painful, but do some gentle excercises before you go to bed and in the morning to build muscle. You'll be much better in no time! If it's too much, then take some painkillers 30 minutes before you do them.
If you want a second opinion to be sure, then go for it, it's what you're entitled to! Good luck!

hi
i dont think it is growing pains as by the age of 17-18 your skeleton is fully formed and as for your feet the bones stop developing at this age also...
do you play a particular sport or a keen runner??? also where about does it hurt on your foot when you apply pressure, is it first thing in the morning or all the time?
i strongly advice you to see your GP again and ask if you coould be referred to a Podiatrist or Physiotherapist..
i am a podiatrist so if i think its best to go to one as they will be able to get more info from you and could do various tests to diagnose your problem or refer you to a specialist.

I think a second opinion from another doctor is in order .Choose a vascular specialist or someone who treats bone and joint disease .
Better be sure and good luck.
