What Causes Intermittent Stabbing Pain In My Left Foot?
I'm experiencing extreme intermittent stabbing pain on the top part of my left foot in the middle area. I awoke to this pain last night and it lasted for about a minute. It hasn't occurred again but there is a weird sensation like it could happen again at any second. It's like I can feel the pain ready yo occur again but it hasn't. I've experienced this before on the same foot and location about 4-5 months ago. The it occurred about 6 times times and lasted about a week, and it occurred randomly. I do not have an injury nor did I injure it in the past. But I did notice a while back right before the first onset of the pain a little round, chick pea sized cyst appeared under the arch of that same foot. Any idea what is causing this pain? It's pretty unbearable and I feel I have a good tolerance for pain; I've gotten tooth fillings, stitches in my hand without any Novocain, pain reliever or shot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
You have a pea sized sweling in rt foot which pains occasionally during night . These kind of lesion occurs in many conditions like Gout , rheumatism arthritis, tumors, exotosis ...... etc. which need to be diagnosed first through clinical examination , investigation including blood n radiological investigation and then managed according to the diagnosis .
So in my opinion visit a orthopaedic clinic and get treated there Until then have warm compression , analgesic, limb immobilization.
