Subject: Sudden Intense Foot Pain Yesterday when I put my shoes on to go to spinning first thing in the morning I noticed that my right foot was feeling a little crampy. I figured the dog had slept on it and brushed it off. During spinning it felt like a mild cramp, but when I tired to put weight on it after class I could barely walk. It wasn't a more intense class than usual, and I did or wore nothing new. I tried to ice it but that really makes it hurt, heat seems to help for the moments it stays warm, and I just wrapped it and it feels like it is on fire. I am still hobbling around this morning.
The pain is on the outside of my right foot, towards the middle, where the little bump is on the side. It radiates toward my little toe on the sole and up over the top of my foot in front of my ankle bone. It hurts to flex and point, to put weight on it (particularly after sitting ), and to spread my toes.
I didn't do much last week, just miles on the bike and some swimming. Does anyone have an idea as to what this pain might stem from or be caused by? |
