1218873 tn?1300091216 I get a lot of feet cramps and the past couple of nights I will wake up to a cramp in the top of my left foot closer to the ankle. Hurts like hell. It wont go away for several minutesI try walking it out or rubbing it and it seems to make it worse. This has happened to me 3x already in one night. I hope it doesn't have anything to do with my heart.
Avatar f tn I randomly get a sudden sharp pain in my left or right foot, on the top. Like a little knife is stuck in me or a huge bug is biting me. What causes this and what can I do to make it go away. I sometimes get the sam feeling on my ankle or my hand?
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn did u go to the er? is it any better now? I suffer from major pain in my left foot on the hill & I get hard muscle knots in the arch of my foot. Like has me in tears pain. From my experience the er will only give u pills & tell u to visit your primary dr asap. Rite now I just got orders for an xray at the hospital & a referal to a pidiotrist. Not sure what to expect :( . Best of luck to you .
Avatar f tn My boyfriend has a large (palm size) rash on top of his foot ( has a very shingle-like rash in appearance). The only reason I say this is because he just recovered from shingles recently. The rash doesn't look like "heat rash"...because of the pink background and rash isn't evenly distributed. It is also not at the bottom of his feet or in between his toes. it also has a white/clearish looking tiny blisters all over.
1017324 tn?1390936445 I have had a dull aching pain on the top middle of the foot. The pain starts about a half inch from the base of my toes and is very centralized. I just went for a 4 mile run and now it is throbbing and a more intense pain. I do not lace my shoes very tightly because I lose circulation when I do. I do wear Innov8 shoes, which are minimalist shoes, and I have been running on a treadmill with an emphasis of trying to run on the balls of my feet rather than pounding down through the heel.
Avatar f tn If your feet are hurting on the bottom and not the top, it may be plantar Fasciitis. It's very painful and is mostly on the heels and balls of your feet. I hope this is not what you're experiencing, it's not curable, doctor recommended really stiff insoles but, they just made them hurt more. Good luck and way to go, keep improving your health!
Avatar f tn Another way to describe it is that it feels like I have very severe bruising on the tops of my feet. (There is a very small bit of bruising on the lump on my right foot) but the pain and lump is on both feet. The weird thing is that noone can tell how excruciating the pain is as I can't really limp - bc it's both of my feet, it looks like I am walking normally... until I stumble or something. The pain is sooooo so bad. Im seriously about to break emotionally from this pain.
Avatar f tn ve been having foot cramps for years, i always thought everybody got them, just something normal, I am constantly being woken up in the middle of the night with the shock of my foot or feet twisted and locked up. No one has every said to me that foot cramp was a neurological sign, though i think i've been told my mother a thousand times or more that its caused by low magnesium (sp), and potasium.
Avatar f tn t show up until several weeks later. It is very difficult to strain a muscle on the top of the foot to cause so much swelling and the "bump" feeling.
11079760 tn?1483386130 I know this thread is kind of old but I just had to respond.......I am a 42 y/o F who was DX with Sjogren's Syndrome in April of this year. This autoimmune journey is new to me and I know that it can be a long & confusing journey. But when I read the header of your question it caught my eye. I have been having tingling/burning in my right toes only......and what I call "needle-like" sticks all over the tops & sides of my right foot. Never on the heel or the sole.....
Avatar f tn Hello, I wrote in a question recently about a hard pea sized lump on top of my foot. I appreciate the answers I received and now I have another one. The lump is hard like bone and is not painful. It is located on the outside edge between my little toe and ankle. It may have been there awhile and I have just noticed it or it could be a new occurance. I went to my family physician today and he ordered an x-ray. The lump also does not move. The x-ray did not show anything.
Avatar f tn 10 days ago I developed a rash on the tops of three toes (not in between the toes at all). It was very itchy and I treated it with cortisone cream (Coincidentally, I had worn new shoes the day before). The cream did not seem to work; the rash felt better when I put a cold pack on the rash. One week later, I went to my doctor who did not know what it was. Thought it looked like contact dermatitis, but not sure. She prescribed an anti-fungal cream with cortisone.
Avatar f tn I do recall that I dropped a heavy soup can on the top of my foot...with no bruising. etc. On and off thruout the summer and now presently for 3 days I feel as though cobwebs are sweeping or crawling over the top of my foot. What can this be?
Avatar m tn ll keep it simple. Plus at this point its tough to say if that is the source of your foot cramps, but as you suspect it might be since you do have the start of Hashimoto. Podiatrist usually know a few simple stretches, but they are usually not as effective as other types. 90% of foot cramps and even planter facitis is related to tight calf muscles. But most Podiatrist completely ignore this fact since there narrow little world is concentrated only on the foot.
Avatar f tn I saw my ankle surgeon a couple of weeks ago and I had just found out that I have a bone spur on the top of my right foot (the same foot and ankle that I had surgery on in April 2008). He told me to do some ankle exercises to relieve some of the pain. He didn't do anything with the bone spur yet. I go see him again October 15. My question is: Will the ankle exercises help the bone spur disappear or will I need to get surgery to remove the bone spur?
Avatar f tn It started with the top of my foot hurting, like someone had stepped on it. I now have a hard lump that is painful to the touch. I am wondering if this serious and if I need to see a podiatrist. I am a little concerned about what this could be.
Avatar f tn but I notice is wen I stand so much on my foot..try using any hot ointment n place ur legs on a pillow n relax on d bed...
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn My foot cramps too because I curly toes when it's really good and the after climaxing I relax and sometimes get a major foot cramp haha no big deal. If he had an electrolyte imbalance the cramps wouldn't only occur after sex.
Avatar f tn A 3 pound can was dropped on the top of my foot today,I am experiencing swelling and pain that shoots down to my toes ands up my leg.I can still walk on my foot but it hurts.Could I have a small fracture on the top of my foot?
Avatar m tn The various causes of foot cramps or tightening or painful contraction in the middle of foot are an over exerted foot poor foot circulation, lack of potassium, dehydration, pinched nerves due to electrical impulse from brain not reaching the muscles, alcohol or tobacco use, nutritional deficiency, etc. sciatica has been the previous culprit causing pain in back and thigh and leg cramps. This could be pinched nerve in the leg or foot.
7763229 tn?1396626895 So I don't know what happened but the top of my left foot on my vein hurts sooon bad to touch. I rubbed it today and almost fell to the floor in pain. Could i have busted a blood vessel? Is it pregnancy related?
1218873 tn?1300091216 When I walk I get cramp in my right foot/ankle, this the top of my foot, not the instep or toes. Then when I try to stretch it out to easy the pain (like pointing your foot) I seem to get a different sort of cramp it is in the same area but has a different feeling. Aftera short while I feel more comfortable but then in the evening the cramp I felt walking comes back to haunt me! This is consistant when I walk say 300 metres (which is the distance from our house to the local shops.
Avatar f tn it finally went away, but left what was originally just thought to be a small skin flap on the top of the foot (was flexible, soft, no pain)...then went hard as nails and it hurt like heck whenever anything touched it (even the wind).,..then it grew up...looked like I had some kind of growth, was solid white and the top was black and bulbous....
Avatar n tn For the last two weeks, without any injury or apparent reason, I started having extreme pain on the top of my left foot. It starts in the middle of the top of the foot then spreads and deepens in intensity until it is almost unbearable then slowly subsides. This happens about 4 to 6 times an hour and will wake me up often in the night. At first, when the pain would subside my foot would feel fine, now it aches and hurts all the time to walk - more so right after an 'episode.
