Suggest Treatment For Twitching And Jerking In Foot

I have developed a twitching in my right foot over the last 3 weeks. I woke on Sunday morning 3 weeks ago, my foot was very sore on top as if some stomped on top of it, right above my toes in the thin bones on top but I cannot account for this I did not injure it. Since then it has developed his twitching and jerking which is getting worse each night and becoming painful and keeping me from being able to go to sleep

Hello !
I read your question and understand your concern.
In my opinion the symptoms you have may be related to a possible nerve dysfunction. It may be a nerve entrapment like tarsal tunnel syndrome , typically causing troubles during night .
I would recommend you a electroneurography of your lower limbs to examine the function of the nerves. A xray of your foot would be helpful to rule out other problems related to the bones, but usually they don't come out during night.
If it is abnormal you may need surgical decompression .
Hope to have been helpful !
Best wishes, Dr. Abaz Quka
