What Causes Sharp Shooting Pain In Foot?
I have question concerning my legs. Specifically with my left leg, I m experiencing sharp shooting pains in my foot on right side of my foot. This just started this afternoon. Prior to this pain, both legs have lumbing aches which I attribute to lack of exercise. Also I have hammer toe of 2nd toe right foot. I plan to have surgery with podiatrist to correct crooked toe within next couple of months. And for exercise, I ll begin water aerobics next week. Should I be concerned with sharp pain in my foot?

Hello,
Most probably it is due to conditions like plantar fasciitis.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
You can also consider steroid injection also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
