FOOT AND TOE PAIN: DIAGNOSTIC WORKUP
(Algorithmic Diagnosis of Symptoms and Signs)

Routine diagnostic tests include a CBC, sedimentation rate, chemistry panel, VDRL test, and an x-ray of the foot. If the peripheral pulses are diminished, Doppler studies and angiography should be considered. If there is diffuse swelling and erythema, venography may need to be done. If there are neurologic findings, nerve conduction velocity studies and electromyograms (EMGs) may be helpful. Consider bone scans, CT scans, and arthroscopy if the above tests are negative. An MRI may be needed to diagnose stress fractures. Abnormal weight distribution is diagnosed by quantitative scintigraphs. It is wise to refer the patient to an orthopedic surgeon or podiatrist before ordering expensive diagnostic tests.
