Painful Foot. Done X Ray And Ultrasound. What Is Wrong?

Hi my name is Horton, 35yrs male. I have pain in my left foot at the top and under the left part of my foot. I've had X-ray done and ultra sound performed and nothing abnormal was found. When I lie in bed at night especially, I get a lot of pain and when I try to get up to go to bathroom my foot is real painful to walk on, feels like something inside is going to snap at top of foot between my 2nd and 3rd bones please help.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

From the given description, I suspect that you could be suffering with Morton's metatarsalgia.

An MRI scan of the foot will establish the diagnosis.

The initial treatment of this condition includes -

* RICE: rest, icing, compression, and elevation
* The use of metatarsal pads and other orthotic devices may provide relief
* Stretching and strengthening exercises should be done carefully, and returning to a higher-level activity should be gradual and done with caution to prevent re-injury.

I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation and management.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day
