Mystery pain on the TOP of my foot?


Question:
This has been a sudden onset of pain on the top of my foot about 2 inches down from where the leg meets the foot. I haven't had any injuries & I'm fairly certain that it's not broken (no swelling or bruising) - it is just very painful to move my foot or touch it. Any ideas?

Answers:
This could be a sign of gout. Three yrs ago I ate shrimp and had a severe attack and the hospital thought I sprained my leg. I was more like a break feeling as far as the pain went. It got so bad I could not put any pressure on it. It took me almost 2 yrs. to figure out it was shrimp. I had to eliminate things from my diet i.e. alcohol, meat, fish and then fine tuned it to shrimp. I can't even clean a shrimp bowl. I am that sensitive. Google it. Good luck!

Other Answers:
Drive a car over ur other foot and u'll forget about that pain.

Any discoloration at all? Could it be a rash or insect bite of some kind? If you want to spend several hundred dollars only to be told that it is probably nothing, go to a podiatrist. But first you might want to wait a couple weeks and see if it just goes away by itself.
