I have had this stabbing sensation on the top of both of my feet for about 4 1/2 years now. I am 43 years old and I stopped teaching fitness classes because the pain finally happened while I was on a spinning bike. I have seen every doctor in Santa Barbara, no one can figure it out. I was recently sent to UCLA where I was hoping to get diagnosed, no luck. My symtoms are very much like the other peoples blogs on this web site. It might happen when I'm standing, sitting, lying down, or walking. I will sometimes get a stab on the top of my right or left foot, though the stabbing sensation only happens to one foot at a time. The stabbing pain feels like someone is using a steak knife and driving it through the top of my feet. Sometimes I might get one stab and then it's gone for a month. Sometimes it will come and go frequently for a week and then disappear. I wear Lidocaine patches on both feet everyday. I'm only supposed to wear them for a 12 hour period, but I wear them 24 hours a day. They don't eliminate the pain, they just dilute it a bit. I recently had my second MRI of the lumbar region and I have bulging discs from L2-L5/S1. All of the doctors that have seen my reports say that the foot pain is not connected, because my condition is too minor. I have tried eliminating lunges in my exercise routine for about 3 months to see if that helps..it doesn't. During the spinning class when I felt the stabbing pain while I was on the bike teaching that was the first time in 4 1/2 years that I had ever felt it WHILE I was teaching, it usually happened after the workout if it was going to happen. I am so frustrated because
