Suggest Treatment For Pain In Foot While Walking
Question: Two days ago I was running/walking and started to experience some foot pain at the top of my left foot. I figured that it was just from running on the concrete or a muscle cramp. It is still store in a concentrated spot. when I am resting, it doesn't really hurt, but doing burpees yesterday and running/walking. When I am at rest, it doesn't hurt but it feels weird. I think it might be slightly swollen, but not terribly.
