    Hey guys!
    So, I'm not sure if I should go to the doctor or not about this but my foot has been badgering me lately.

    It started on last friday night, SOMEHOW I did something to my foot and it's been bad ever since. I thought it was bruising or something like that but it doesn't seem to want to be healed.

    If I walk or put to much preasure the top of my foot will start to hurt (causing me to limp) and then if I keep walking the pain will worsen and then in REALLY bad cases I can feel the pain on my achilles tendon and really sore on the top of the foot. I really only have to lay down for a while for the pain to stop....but yah...it really sucks. I have to lay down...I can't sit.

    So, some people think I have a muscle sprain...or possibly a minor break in one of the bones in my foot....*shrugs*

    It's kinda like a nerve pain if I had to describe it.

    I got a foot massage and it seems to be fine to touch and my foot looks A-Okay on the outside. Except for a VERY VERY small cut. <- Don't think that's important mentioning...

    If it continues till Monday I'll get a doctors appt...But what do you guys think?

    hmmm... sounds like a doctor is your best bet.
    probably a sprain or a strain. no biggie.

    KB will have a better answer for this but it seems like if you had a sprain or broken bone it would have hurt during the massage. Have you checked for warts on the bottom of your feet? Sometimes those are painful to walk on.

    The bottom of my foot is perfectly fine, Mum.
    It's the top of my foot that hurts, and the pain becomes gradual as I walk.

    Do I get a lolly?

    OK, well then we'll wait for the professional. No lolly....its bad for your teeth. Did the pink eye clear up? I don't know what I'm going to do with you Phil. You have more health problems than me. lol OK...maybe not.

    It sounds like a sprain. If you think you may have injured it, it should probably be xrayed just to be sure. You can apply ice to it for the next couple of days. Avoid putting your weight on it.

    If you have access to a minor emergency/urgent care center, you can be seen there over the weekend. Otherwise, get an appointment with your doctor on Monday for follow-up.
