What Causes Pain In Foot While Resting?
For the past three or four days, I have had a sharp, intermittent pain in the top of my foot.. One night the pain kept me up for some time... Then the pain disappeared and came back the next day... There is no swelling or redness to the skin... I only seem to feel the pain when I am resting..Is it possible that I am suffering from Gout? Thank you Steve Culen

Hi,
you fail to mention the site of pain in your leg, the symptoms of gout are similar to what you are telling but the usually involved site is the PIP joint of great toe, still, resting pain only could be functional, or sign of swollen joint membranes, especially if it feels stiff in the morning,
Get your blood investigation, CBC, ESR CRP, Uric acid done and you can clear your doubts.
