Common Questions and Answers about Top of foot pain injuries

foot

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?

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.

Hi Pain in the foot can be due to several causes like stress fracture, arthritis, gout, plantar fascitis, sprain, or due to ill-fitting shoes. Another cause may be loss of normal medial longitudinal arch that leads to pes planus or flat foot. It may be due to ruptutre of a tendon (posterior tibial tendon). Do you have any recent history of injury or medical problems like gout or arthritis?

For 5 days now i have had pain on the top of my foot. It is only provoked my certain activities such as walking fast, going down hills, and touching the area. It doesn't hurt when i run or just walking around. The area on my foot is a little bit swollen and the swelling and pain gets worse at night and better only with rest. I have tried figuring out what could be wrong, but i really have no idea. Do you have an idea of what is wrong and what i can do to help it get better?

the other day I hit the top of my foot ( middle of my foot on top ) with the corner of the draw at my desk. The desk draws are metal. When i hit it, it got swollen and was really really red. Had a bruise. Its been 4days and it still gets swollen when im on my foot and when i touch my foot on top it hurts alot .

I have swelling on the top of my foot with red spots. There is not swelling in my ankle, toes, or the bottom of my foot. There is no pain, but a slight tingling feeling.

I would suggest you to go for an X-ray and check if there is any problem with the talus bone which is present on top of the arch of your 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.

Rule out skin lesions like infections, sebaceous cyst, varicose vein, scar tissue, foot injury, gouty tophi or ganglion cyst. It can also be a ligament or tendon injury. Follow up with a physician for a proper diagnosis. Take care!

The inside and outside of the foot also became bruised, I got an X-Ray and the shin was not fractured. Now, 2 1/2 weeks later the top of my foot, and front of my ankle has a sharp pain whenever I walk, and my toes have begun to twitch. Do you have any idea what could be causing this sharp, shooting foot pain?

I twisted over the top of my right foot. No impact of the foot occured but I have a lot of pain coming from the top of the foot. I spent two hours in casualty last night but was advised that no break could be seen on the x ray of the metatarsal (2nd -3rd). The doctor was a bit dismissive but this morning I have struggled to walk and the pain is worse. Am I right in thinking that the X-rays should have been taken whilst standing up? This wasn’t the case.

but is puzzled as to why the foot seems to be better and then the painful achiness and the sharp pain occurring at intervals returns. Obviously the foot would need to be examined before an accurate diagnosis could be made.... but what could the thin matchstick be and why do both pains come and go so suddenly?

today got up, the whole top of my foot through my ankle up to my knee are very painful to the touch, and to walk on. I can point my tow to an extent, but cannot bend it up towards me without shooting pain, the bottom inside arch is also very tender and painful by touch and when any pressure is put onto my foot. I think i may have tweaked my knee as it is very tender and swollen. There is no bruising on my foot anywhere. just the pain.

I had a very bad sprain/crush injury to the inside top of my ankle over 3 months ago. I have constant pain, and numbness. I was in a cast for two months because my ankle felt like jello. I have had MRI, Bone scan, EMG and NCS. I couldn't move my foot at first, but with PT I can move it now. After I got the cast off, my foot will just drop when I walk and feels weak most of the time. I have to wear a brace that somewhat holds my foot up, but I still have to sling my foot forward when I walk.

and the leg was so asleep my foot dropped as i stood and put my weight down on the top of my toes and rolled my foot backwards. falling forwards to my knees i felt a pop in my foot and intense pain. iispent the rest of the day with it elevated and iced and intended to check in with the doctor the next day . No real bruising but some swelling was present.

It might be a bit late for that now though, since the injury occurred last Wednesday, but it might help with the pain. Is there any noticeable/visual deformity on your foot? It would most likely be too painful for you to walk on it at all if you broke your foot, so I doubt that is what is going on. It could be a fracture, tendon problem, RSD, etc., but it's hard to tell without having an x-ray or other diagnostic tool/visual.

I've been having a sharp pain on the TOP of my right foot. I think it's the bone or tendon that connects to my big toe. I get the pain when I walk (only right foot) and when I try to curl or arch my foot. What could be wrong? Is it serious? Should I get it checked?

I am asking this question for my brother. He is 49 years old. Today he was sitting in a chair and when he got up his foot began aching and then throbbing. It is swollen, warm to the touch, and I detect discoloration of his toes. The big toe especially. About 4 days ago, he was hit hard in the ankle. He jumped around a lot when it happened but he managed to get up and walk after the pain subsided.

After a fall on the sidewalk, I had pain in the top of my right foot. Icing helped, and there was no swellin. But it was sore. Iwalked a few miles the next day, the pain was there so I went slowly. After a night out wiht friends thetop of the foot was more swollen. It's not unbesarable, just sore. Is it broken?

For about a week now I've been experiencing pain in my left foot. My big toe also seems to be tilting and slightly crossing the smaller toes. The toe does not bend at all. The pain in my foot is mostly along the top and the arch. What could be causing this? I don't get much relief from the pain because as long as I'm putting weight on it, it hurts even in the morning after not being on it all night. Thank you for any and all advice.

None of the mentioned causes would cause pain on the top side of the foot. Possible causes that may need to be considered include fractures, ligament/ tendon injuries, infections, inflammations, spur formation etc. It is advised to consult an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Meanwhile it is advised to rest the foot and avoid weight bearing. You could also use some OTC NSAIDS for pain relief. Hope this helps. Take care!

my left foot wil randomly like cramp up when i try to take a step but its not like a muscle pain it hurts in the bones on top of my foot and my ankle its a horrible sudden pain but after it happens my foot stays "locked up" like this for 1-3 days and its hard to walk its almost as if my foot is stuck arched up and it feels like if i put all my weight on it the bones on the top of my foot will break!
