What Causes Pain On Top Of The Foot?
Hello. My foot at the ankle bent outwards and I fell back to the floor. That had happened about 6 weeks ago. It didn t start a burning pain feeling until 2 weeks after it happened. The pain is on the upper part of the top of my foot. It s made worst when sleeping. I ve had pain since. My question is: Could it be from the fall or something else, because there was no pain until 2 weeks later? Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think this pain is related with your ankle and foot sprain even though the pain started 2 weeks later.
Maybe you did not have enough rest to give time for the soft tissue or ligaments of the foot to heal.
So first you needed some weeks of immobilisation on the foot with braces and then after that you can start physical therapy.
I wish you quick recovery
