- Bone spurs (growths that can occur from arthritis, prior injury, or chronic overuse)
- Bone fractures (injuries that lead to breaks in your bone or small cracks due to overuse)
- Bunions (small bone growths that form on the lower joint of your big toe causing pain and pressure on your smaller toes)

- Flat feet (when your entire foot touches the floor while standing)

Foot Injuries: When to See a Doctor
If you've injured your foot, you may be wondering if you need to see a doctor. If your pain is only mild, it'll probably go away on its own. But if you have pain in both feet, have diabetes, or if you have sever pain that isn't going away, you should see a doctor.

Your 4-inch stilettos look great, but are they hazardous to your health? One-third of women who wear high heels have fallen while wearing them, but the danger doesn't stop there.
