Top of foot pain injuries
Common Questions and Answers about Top of foot pain injuries
foot
As there is very little soft tissue to protect the top of the foot, bone injuries are common. The second, third and fourth Metatarsals are the most commonly injured bones due to something falling on your foot. Without any fracture you would need physiotherapy and anti inflammatory medications to decrease the pain and inflammation. I would also suggest you to wear proper footwear.
Take care!
Hi, I have a pain in my right foot. It is on the top of my foot and only last a few seconds then goes away. Seems to happen most when I am relaxed or laying down. I can't recall any injuries, there is no bruising and does not hurt to touch or press. It is quite painful while it's happening and has been going on for the last 3 days. Does anyone know what this might be or how I can stop it from happening?
I'm a runner and recently got a pain on top of foot, as if my laces were too tight 9they may have been!) recently been doing a lot of off road running on uneven hard surface. it seems to be in the Extensor Hallucis Brevis area and there is a squashy lump the size of a smallish coin in that area, which isn't really painful to touch. If I loosen my laces in that area I can walk and do a bit of running without too much discomfort.
Hey can some one help me with my problem I play soccer but Ian new at playing it n ever since I started to play I've been traing hard n been kicking alot of hard balls n now my foot hurts every time I kick n walk can some one tell me y
At first sight at the crash, the top of my foot was swollen badly in two specific places, one swollen part has this cut which wouldn't stop bleeding and the other is just a giant bump.
After elevating my leg for a couple of hours with ice and pressure, its still bleeding somewhat but the swelling turned from 2 concentrated places to spread all over the top of my foot.
I doubt it is broken though, I can move all my toes and my ankle fine without the severe pain of knowing that its broken.
It defiantly can not be a shin splint. This pain is just a few inches above the big toe knuckle. It's been a couple weeks with this pain in the foot. Walking barefoot in my house i feel no pain unless i press on the area then i feel a mass amount even with painkillers. If i have my cleats or runners on i feel pain all the time. I think im defiantly to young for falling arches...
I have read multiple posts about this and have also read about the Mortons condition, but I think mine is different. On occasion such as last night, I was awoke by a stabbing pain on the top of my right foot. I refer to these as "labor pains" because you can feel the jolt coming on and it lasts for a couple of seconds then subsides. It is like a burning electrical shock. It will continue to do it at anywhere from 30 to 45 second intervals. My toes are unaffected.
The pain can either be a dull ache along the side of my foot (not on the bottom) or a shooting pain that goes across the top of my foot (near my leg). I do seem to have some swelling there as well. I am overweight. I work 12 hour shifts at a hopsital...and it is definately worse when the shifts are busy and I am on my feet more. I used to do the walk fit DVDs, but can't anymore because of the discomfort after only 5 minutes.
Recently my ankle has swelled up again (no re-injury) and I have sharp pains across the top of my ankle when I flex my foot towards my body. I can walk on it with some pain and the swelling goes down at night or when elevated.
X-rays show no break in the tib or fib...
Should I treat it as a sprain and do I need to stay off of it?
Possible injuries?
- Talus dome fracture?
- Cartilage damage?
Now my right foot is swollen still two days later. The pain is on the top of my right foot on the inner side. No bruise but very discomforting. Sometimes, I can not put any weight on it and the pain is unbearable. A red color bout the size of a half dollar piece is visible and the skin is very warm to the touch. Any suggestions of what this may be?
on her foot, just above her toes and a deep, though small looking cut at the point of impact. The rest of the top front part of her foot was swollen. She was told in Casualty that there was tissue damage and damage to the tendons but no apparent broken bones. A few days later when some of the swelling subsided she began to walk on it. It ached but every so often she got a sharp piercing pain on the top; and underneath her foot.
) Fibula fracture healed but was still having quite alot of pain,swelling,no dorsiflexion,painful numbness on the top of foot.CT done and was thought I had AVN of talus-went to another specialist who said this wasn't the case w/out even looking at the CT.Back to my regular OS who thought I should have hardware removed.So,August 2010 had all hardware removed and I have had little to no improvement.Last Xrays I had flattening of talus and narrowing of the joint.
In December of 2012 I had arthroscopic surgery to remove scar tissue in the joint which was impairing my motion and since having this done I still have pain in the outter and joint of my ankle and a burning feeling along the top of my foot around my toe joints. I thought that after having the scar tissue removed I would feel better but to the contrary. If anyone can give me some advice of why or what my next option may be it would be appreciated.
When playing volleyball, an opponent landed squarely on top of my foot. I have mild pain and a popping feeling between big toe and next toe, about 2" from the bottom of the toes. I can walk, but it forces me to limp. No discoloration, no swelling (or so little I can't tell).
This was 2 days ago. I played with no pain right afterwards. Went home, no pain. Woke up the next morning with the pain and the popping sensation.
What treatment(s) are needed?
Sometimes I top off the the pain medication by vaporizing bud. Lyrica is used in the Treatment of neuropathic pain in adults. Cesamet is synthetic THC. It's a nasty thing to have. I believe that the problem is the pain. Kill the pain as much as possible so you can do physio and keep moving. The worse time for me is the morning and then very late at night.
