What Causes Excruciating Pain On The Top Of My Foot?

Excruciating pain on the top of my foot that started about 7 hours ago. Centers on bone below right big toe but is moving. Seems to be what appears to be a bite to the left but it is not sore right on that spot. Now moving to bottom of foot. Had a shoe issue while dancing approximately 30 hours ago. Should I be going to emergency room?

Hi,
Thanks for contacting HCM. The symptoms you describe can certainly stem from a problem with shoegear during activity. There is not much reason to worry at this point, as far as an emergency situation. The best thing to start with is RICE- rest/icing/compression/elevation. Anti-inflammatories should also help reduce some of the soreness. It sounds like a sprain in the foot, and xray evaluation would be helpful to rule out any obvious fractures.
I hope this answer was helpful, if you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.
