the top (around middle) part of my foot just started hurting yesterday. it hurts when i move my toes up and when i press it or walk. i have flat feet, but i hate wearing the supports. could it be because of that?
Hi Michelle, Put the supports back in your shoes and if the pain goes away in a few days you will then know that the pain was from not wearing the orthotics. It sounds like you may have a midtarsal fault. Marc Mitnick DPM
I started walking 5 weeks ago about 6 or 7 days ago the outer side and top of my left foot started hurting. it is the middle of my foot not close to my toes or heal. Could it be my shoes?
Hi Christina, That would be the first place I would look, make sure they are not worn out. Additionally, if you are walking in the street, most streets are "banked" so that rain moves to the side of the road. This tilt in the road can cause foot pain. You may also want to try an arch support to see if better support allows you to walk more comfortably. If none of this works then you may want to visit a podiatrist. Marc Mitnick DPM
