Sore feet may sometimes be indicative of an underlying health issue and should not be ignored. If the muscles in your feet cannot relax properly and therefore cramp, this may be an indicator of dehydration, nerve or circulation issues, or possibly even neurological conditions. A foot sore that does not heal can sometimes signal the presence of diabetes. If your feet and toes are always cold, you may have hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), or poor circulation which may be the result of any number of health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and more. Arthritis often presents itself first in small joints such as those in the toes. If you notice any soreness or pain in your feet, an examination by a podiatrist is the first step in helping to determine the underlying cause.

Prior medical history, family medical history, and any recent physical traumatic events will all be taken into consideration for a proper diagnosis.
