Could be one of three things.. You are walking too heavily on your heels, have a displacement of one or more of the tarsal bones or, the attachment of the arch to the talus. Are you losing the arch in the foot? Several things should have been checked. That being one of them. The body will defend the area by allowing the formation of crystalline material there and will eventually develop a spur on one of the ligamentous attachments. It should have at least been x-rayed. To have some determination of the causation.\n\nBeing you didn't include your age, there is no way to determine if there is the possibility of loss of bone density in the area.

Burning pain is almost always neurological. Do you have diabetes? If yes, it could be neuropathy. Does you left foot hurt worse than your right? You could have two separate things going on, that are unrelated. The hip and leg pain could be arthritis, sciatica, low back nerve impingement, or any number of problems. See another doctor. If the ones you have seen have not given you any kind of diagnosis, then keep looking until you find you who will get to the bottom of your problem, or if you really trust one of the doctors you have already seen, then go back to him. Tell the doctor what's going on and that you want tests to find out what's causing this problem, and if he can do the tests, you want a referral to a specialist. Good luck.

Yes, it's very possible. You could also have dislocated it. Did you injure it at all or do you wear shoes that are too narrow or wear heels? If so, try changing your footwear and take care of your feet;massage, pedicure etc.

You need to get this checked out immediately -- you should at the very least tell your coach!  It could be any number of things.  Iif it's in the tendon, you may have torn or sprained your Achilles tendon.  If it's in the heel of your foot, you may have injured the fascia.  You may also have caused a stress fracture in a bone in your foot.\n\nIn any case, ignoring it is just about the worst thing you can do if you really plan to continue being a competitive skater.  By continuing to walk and skate on it, you may end up turning the injury into a chronic problem that will keep popping up and causing you pain from now until the end of time.  GO SEE A DOCTOR and don't delay any longer!

You may be having some circulation problems.  I would suggest that you see a doctor as soon as you can.  Especially if the foot that is cold is very white, turning blue or you are loosing feeling in it.  It could be very serious.

Not enough information there to be sure, but there are always possibilities.\n\nIt could be your feet have grown or flattened and are larger than they used to be. Your shoes may be too tight.\n\nWater retention, which could come from anything from insufficient exercise or sitting in a computer chair too long to low circulation to other more complicated (and some potentially dangerous) things. Even pregnancy. (I don't know your gender or age so I'll suggest that.)\n\nNerve changes, which can have many causes, some as simple as wearing a belt too tight or sitting on a wallet in your back pocket, and some being a sign of something else in your body out of kilter.\n\nIf it's worth asking here, it's worth asking your physician about -- from curiosity, not from fear. \n\nThey're trained to assume and check for the worst things first and only when they prove that those aren't the cause, move onto the less alarming causes. They do this because they'd rather check for the worst and be wrong than to miss checking and be dead wrong. It's just the way they are. Would you want them to be any other way?\n\nIf there's any extreme or rapid change or if pain starts anywhere in your legs, have it checked right away. That'd be a sign that there's a little more happening than a little stiffness and numbness.\n\n----------\nNow that you've asked your first question, go read and rate some others. You can show your experience here by adding on some points, and rating answers is the easiest way to do it. You get to do 20 each day.

You may have broken your toe.  I've broke that toe three times!\n\nTape that toe to the toe next to it.  That's all they do if it is broken.  That will help with the pain, but it will be sore for a few days.\n\nIf your foot stays sore, you may have broken a bone in it, you'll need a doctor to X-ray that.

sounds like a possible calcaneal fracture.  you don't decribe location of pain, that would be educated guess based on description of jumping from high surface.  check out a great informative website, myfootshop.com. check out the article and see if it sounds like your symptoms, if not tool around the site, i think you'll find it to be helpful.  use the source as direct link to site.

You seem to be experiencing pressure from either wearing the wrong shoes, which are to tight or you may need to see your physician. You could be an undiagnosed diabetic. If the problem is severe enough to ask questions in this format, it would be beneficial to check with a health care provider about it. Either way, you should have the problem checked out before you have more severe problems develop.

Probably planar fascitis caused by weak arch support or worn heels.\n\nIf the heels of your athletic shoes are worn down, get new shoes.\n\nOtherwise, try an sturdy arch support.  Buy one from the drug store or home health store that is stiff and costs about $25 per pair.  It is best to get the kind that you can heat or boil, then mold to your foot.  To do that, put it in your shoe with insulation on top, then stand on it for a few minutes.

Evaluation and treatment \n\nHeel pain can have many causes. If your heel hurts, see your doctor right away to determine why and get treatment. Tell him or her exactly where you have pain and how long you've had it. Your doctor will examine your heel, looking and feeling for signs of tenderness and swelling. You may be asked to walk, stand on one foot or do other physical tests that help your doctor pinpoint the cause of your sore heel. Conditions that cause heel pain generally fall into two main categories: pain beneath the heel and pain behind the heel. \n\nPain beneath the heel \n\nIf it hurts under your heel, you may have one or more conditions that inflame the tissues on the bottom of your foot: \n\n\nStone bruise: When you step on a hard object such as a rock or stone, you can bruise the fat pad on the underside of your heel. It may or may not look discolored. The pain goes away gradually with rest. \n\nPlantar fasciitis (subcalcaneal pain): Doing too much running or jumping can inflame the tissue band (fascia) connecting the heel bone to the base of the toes. The pain is centered under your heel and may be mild at first but flares up when you take your first steps after resting overnight. You may need to do special exercises, take medication to reduce swelling and wear a heel pad in your shoe. \n\nHeel spur: When plantar fasciitis continues for a long time, a heel spur (calcium deposit) may form where the fascia tissue band connects to your heel bone. Your doctor may take an X-ray to see the bony protrusion, which can vary in size. Treatment is usually the same as for plantar fasciitis: rest until the pain subsides, do special stretching exercises and wear heel pad shoe inserts. \n\nPain behind the heel \n\nIf you have pain behind your heel, you may have inflamed the area where the Achilles tendon inserts into the heel bone (retrocalcaneal bursitis). People often get this by running too much or wearing shoes that rub or cut into the back of the heel. Pain behind the heel may build slowly over time, causing the skin to thicken, get red and swell. You might develop a bump on the back of your heel that feels tender and warm to the touch. The pain flares up when you first start an activity after resting. It often hurts too much to wear normal shoes. You may need an X-ray to see if you also have a bone spur. \n\nTreatment includes resting from the activities that caused the problem, doing certain stretching exercises, using pain medication and wearing open back shoes. \n\n\n\nYour doctor may want you to use a 3/8" or 1/2" heel insert. \n\nStretch your Achilles tendon by leaning forward against a wall with your foot flat on the floor and heel elevated with the insert. \n\nUse nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications for pain and swelling. \n\nConsider placing ice on the back of the heel to reduce inflammation.

me thinks lots wrong but first is poor circulation. go to hospital. Is there anything that may have caused this for starters? Like diabetes, smoking, excessively tight shoes, injury. Is it swollen? spiderbite? check footwear and bed linen, etc. But SEE A DOCTOR NOW

Wearing incorrect shoes can cut the blood supply to the toes, which can cause the nerve cells to die so you loose  sensation in them. If you get somebody to rub the areas for a long time you might be able to get back some or all of the sensation. From a Reflexology point of view, if you are interested, that's the head area on the foot so you could be suffering from unexplainable headaches. Again, rubbing this area can ease that off too.

Whether or not you've been injured, a stress fracture could be the culprit, if you are certain it's not shin splints:\n\n3. Persistent Foot or Shin Pain\n\nA nagging pain in the top of your foot or the front of your shin that's worse when you exercise, but present even at rest. It's impervious to ibuprofen and acetaminophen.\n\nThe condition: It's probably a stress fracture. Bones, like all the other tissues in your body, are continually regenerating themselves. "But if you're training so hard that the bone doesn't get a chance to heal itself, a stress fracture can develop," explains Andrew Feldman, MD, the team physician for the New York Rangers. Eventually, the bone can be permanently weakened.\n\n \n\nThe diagnostics: Radioactive dye reveals the fracture in the X-ray, and you'll be told to stop all running until the crack heals. Worst case, you'll be in a cast for a few weeks.\n\nShin splints don't necessarily have to be caused by strenuous exercise but could also be caused by bad shoes or posture.\n\nShin splints, if that's what you have, can be caused by sudden increases in mileage, walking uphill, overtraining, walking faster than normal, jumping, running stairs, or just too much distance. They can occur on the medial, or inside of the shin, or on the lateral, or outside of your shin. Medial shin splints are usually caused by excessive pronation or flat feet, and often by pounding from running, or sports like tennis, volleyball, and other weight-bearing activities. If you have medial shin splints and flat feet or excessive pronation, an orthotic device or over-the-counter arch support like Powerfeet or Spenco can sometimes be helpful. Make sure it's a full-length insert. \n\nLateral shin splints (sometimes called anterior shin splints) are usually due to overuse and inflammation of the anterior tibialis muscle and the muscle compartment in the front of the leg, along the outside front of your shin. The anterior tibialis muscle flexes your foot upward. People frequently get anterior shin splints from the repetition of flexing the muscle. For instance, on the treadmill, if you walk fast enough, and for long enough, or if you've suddenly increased the speed, or you're walking on an elevation, the muscle gets overworked and starts to cramp. It would be like doing hundreds of biceps curls until your arm started to cramp. Plus, on the treadmill, there's no letup since the mill just keeps going. You could potentially have the same problem if you walked or ran briskly outdoors for a long period of time at a speed faster than you're used to. \n\nTreatment for shin splits includes rest, massage, ice, stretching, and strengthening. Rest and ice is sometimes the best treatment. You should also be stretching your calves and Achilles tendon. If you have the problem during running or walking, try warming up more and don't increase the speed too quickly. You can also try varying the speed and elevation of the treadmill if you use one instead of keeping it the same. \n\nYou should also consider blood clots and other vascular conditions if you can rule out the former conditions:\n\nProblems that affect the blood vessels (vascular disease) can include peripheral arterial disease, inflammation of a vein (phlebitis), or a blood clot (thrombophlebitis). \nA blood clot near the surface of the skin may cause only minor problems, while a clot in a deep vein may be more serious. Recent surgery, especially on bones or the pelvic or urinary organs, increases the risk of blood clots, especially in deep leg veins. Prolonged bed rest and inactivity, including sitting or standing in one position for long periods of time, or prolonged immobilization of a limb, such as in a cast or splint, also may increase the risk of blood clots.\nProblems affecting the arteries (peripheral arterial disease) can cause cramping pain that occurs with predictable amounts of exercise, such as wal

It could either be a condition called meralgia paresthetica, which I didn't think would move down to the foot, or a lumbar disk prolapse which could indeed cause the symptoms in the foot. Go see an orthopedic doctor.

I experience numbness in my feet while I am exercising, and wonder the cause also, this would cut out poor circulation as the cause, therefore I think it is just a nerve being pinched somewhere.\n\nIf it is a constant numbness definatley see a doctor.

cut your foot off with a hacksaw and put it in a kooler with some ice.  bring it to the hospital and tell them your foot hurts.
