At the end of a long day at work, I noticed a sore spot on the bottom of my right foot. It feels like a small knot located between my second and third toes just as the arch turns into the ball of the foot. It hasn't improved over the past few days. What is this problem? What is the best way to heal it? Thanks so much for your help!

I have been having problems with my right foot for 7+ months now. It started off with a little bump like maybe a splinter. I tryed to get it out but there were no splinters. Then it got bigger and painful, like I am walking on a pebble. Now in the past month or two there are several more smaller but painful bumps around the area. My skin feels raised quite a bit which makes it painful to walk at all. It even throbs when I'm not walking on it. Any advice?

Hello Doctors! I play soccer and I had a recent injury where I went into a tackle, and immediately after, the top of my left foot would hurt if I stretched it. I rested it for a week and a half and went back to play a game today... Of course some girl went and stepped on exactly where my injury was so I had to be substituted. Now it's worse than before and a bit swollen, it's tender if I apply pressure. However, I can walk almost normally. Any idea what it is? Also I've recently gotten new cleats and the bottom of my right foot cramps( like a stinging sensation) if I play for extended amounts of time. Do you know what's wrong? thanks for your time!

I've had prior surgeries on my feet long ago. All of a sudden I felt like I must have a splinter in my foot, just barefooting the other day. Took a look. It is very sore, on the right outer-ridge below the little toe on the right foot. Had 4 previous operations for bunions, but an auto accident caused the first operation to turn into three more. I know this sounds weird but it looks like a callous, but hurts worse than anything imagined for what it looks to be. Was wondering if this is an underlying undiagnosed condition I am not aware of. Thought it was a splinter, but apparently, looks like some growth or tough callous underneath. I don't know, never felt this before yesterday, It turns yellow when I pinch the site. Not familiar with foot problems, other than bad experiences with bunion removal and while recouping, got in a 4 car accident, called for fixing it, then removing the pin, then cast, cast amd cast and crutches. Haven't been back since. Thank you for any suggestions or advice. I hate when somethhing goes wrong with what I have left of my feet!

I live in PA and am having a wedding in my backyard. I will have a large tent with floor (not wood but covering) for about 4 days and it will be over my leach field. No heavy trucks or the like will be on the field. Is this a big problem? Will it result in leach field failure?
