Suggest Remedy For Pain In Foot After Injury

I hurt the top of my foot in dance the other day but I don t know what I did. There is no bruising in no swelling but extreme pain when trying to walk or put weight on it. My parents don t think there s anything wrong with it so they won t take me to the doctor. No there is something wrong with it because it shouldn t hurt this bad to stand.

Been there. The structures that are there are joints and tendons. While there can be stress fractures in the foot, irritations of the local structures is near 100% of those who dance regularly. Ice at first for the first 12 hrs applied as an icepack without direct touching of ice onto the skin where it could cause frostbite.
Then, aspirin like drugs, and heating pads are helpful. Resting the area is quite difficult to do. then after the pain is mostly gone, physical therapy on range of motion, stretches, building up muscles, and how to hold positions correctly will be an important and quite difficult set of routines to come up with and to do. Basically, consult other dancers to find the best specialists in your area (sports medicine, physical therapy, maybe podiatry).
