By Olivia Cross


Its the sharp pain in the lower limb that brings us in the world of thought, some ignore it saying its a usual cause some say it will go away while some try and self diagnose what the reason could be some rarely see the cause and in this cause will visit a specialist who may diagnose them with navicular pain or other causes. This diagnosis sends people into a world of thought. What is this condition, what causes it and how is it prevented?

The body is a connection of various bones and tendons, the lower limb has the navicular system, when one bone in this system is fractured it causes a strain in the whole of the system, when a muscle is expanded or contracted it makes the bone to twitch due to the movement whereby the twitch is transported in pulses through the nervous system and it is conveyed as pain to the brain, this is however known as a navicular paining.

Some individuals though a small percentage are endowed with an extra bone in their foot or at times its a cartilage. This also known as naviculum vitae, Its located in the lower foot just above the arch. Out of this group of people some suffer severe pains due to extra bone in their feet. The painfulness in their feet is caused by the aggravation of the extra bone due to various conditions.

On some occasions the painfulness is caused by the bodily strain due to the normal day to day activities like the usual stroll from one point to another in an irregular way such as through jumping or sprinting, this causes the tendons to strain and in turn cause the irritation and un ease, also cause of painfulness is due to physical cracking or even breaking of the bone or cartilage in the navicular system.

The section of people with the extra cartilage face an even more severe pain this is due to discomfort brought about by having to put on shoes, playing and moving around thus bringing about the burden to the muscles which makes it to ache thus the ailment experienced by the affected chosen few.

The misconception about having weak bones being the cause of this condition has been refuted as a myth as the pain that is normally experienced by the victims has no relation with the strength of their bones especially if they are healthy and function in a normal manner.

The link between the weight of an individual to the level of painfulness an individual suffers is directly related, this is because weightier individuals tend to strain the bones and the weight exerted on the leg is higher as compared to a less weighty individual; the weight increase of the individual may even cause the affected person to break the already cracked bone or worsen the situation.

On very rare occasions do thorns and pricks make one to have these pains, this is because the thorns rarely reach the central part of the foot, and the body has a defense mechanism against thorns which therefore disapproves this theory.
