What should I do about pain in my upper foot that hurts when any pressure is applied to it?
I had had a callus on the ball of my foot for about 2 weeks, and yesterday morning I woke up with an intense pain on the upper portion of that same foot. It hurts to walk on, bend the toes, and basically put any pressure on it. The only thing I can think of that may have caused it is this: the day before this happened, I was walking on this foot putting little pressure on the ball of it since it had the callus...this led to most of the pressure being put on the other side of this foot.
Does anyone know what this might be? What to do? I feel like I need crutches asap...walking is an ordeal!
Also...I have just noticed the whole upper half of my foot is slightly swollen as well.

Ok, not to scare you but sometimes what you think is a callus might not be. Much more serious problems could be affecting your foot, such as cancer cells or a serious insect bite, and the best advice I or anyone can give you is to go to the doctor. It might be nothing, in which case, take a deep breath and thank your lucky stars. But it might not be nothing so the best thing to do it bite the bullet and see your doctor.
