What Causes Pain At The Top Of Foot?
The top of my foot is hurting really badly, but I can t remember doing anything to injure it. My shoe hurts it and it is very sore to the touch. It feels like a bruise, but it throbs at times. What could be wrong with it? What can I do to make it better?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it may have been injured by one of your shoes or may have been otherwise mildly traumatized.
You would need to avoid using foot wear that would further aggravate it.
In addition the use of anti inflammatory pain medication may also be helpful eg ibuprofen/naproxen/cataflam/aspirin
I hope this helps
