I have been having sharp pain on the top inside aspect of my foot. This was gradual in onset with no injury or trigger. I also have popping on my great toe as well. I went to a podiatrist. Found to have a sesmoid fracture but did not relate that to my pain. I had a cortizone injection in a joint (b/w navicular and ?) they said I showed some arthritis in the xray. Pain was unbearable for 1 day then good for 1 week before the pain returned. I was placed in a walking boot for 6 weeks. No/minimal pain while in the boot but as soon as i took it off the pain returned immediately. I have tried new, expensive shoes that are stability controlled as I was told by PT my foot it hypermobile. I had orthotics made. It took me 2 days to get used to them then had NO pain for ~1 week before pain returned. Orthotics were "adjusted" but still having the pain though not as severe. It is a sharp pain down the top/middle of my foot (inline with my big toe), worse with no shoes, with more activity. I am on my feet all day as I work in a hospital. Sometime I will take a step and my foot just "gives out" I also can feel a "catch" at times on the inside of my ankle. Please help this has been going on for over 6 months. I switched podiatist to see if any new thoughts. He said to have a cortisone injection into the tendon (posterior tibials as this showed tendonitis in the MRI) or surgery to debride the tendon.
