Do you have a pet dog?  I used to have a German Shepherd, and sometimes one of her hairs used to 'worm' its way under the skin - very sore, I just had to pull them out.

Soak your foot in hot water, that will help your pores open and it will be easier to remove, and less painful. Get a needle--sterilize it first, or use a tweezers if ya can.

The very best thing to do at this point - my son has the same problem from time to time & here's what his dr said (this way you get dr advice but don't have to go to the dr) Soak your foot in epsom salts dissolved in hot water a couple of times a day until the redness & soreness goes away. Don't bandage it - if possible wear open toed shoes until it heals. It won't get seriously infected if you keep doing the soaks. In the future, keep your toe nail trimmed straight across to prevent it from becoming ingrown again. The peroxide isn't as good an idea but it can't hurt to put some of the triple antibiotic ointment on each night. Good luck & I hope you feel better soon!!!

If you haven't changed your shoes anytime recently (which might account for this discomfort) it's possible you're having an allergic reaction.  Since it seems to be localized to your instep, it's possible you've been bitten or stung by something.  Monitor the swelling, make sure it doesn't spread.  If it does, take an antihistamine (benadryl).\n\nChances are this is a bite of some kind if you haven't experienced an injury in this area.  Keep an eye on it and see the doctor, he/she may be able to give you something for it.

You can have many things wrong with it.  You could have pulled the tendons and cause tenditis. You could have muscle strain.  You could have a bone spur.  If you have a bone spur.  When you wake up and can't walk on that foot and it hurts and you want to punch the wall that's a bone spur.  I have one in right heal. \n\nYou might even be flat footed that cause sore pain. \n\nThe only way to truly know why it hurts it to go the dr and have an x-ray of the foot.  That will tell them exactly what it is wrong.  I would suggest you buy a foot bath.. they help really good and there are relaxing or go have a foot massage they're even better, or even a pedicure.   These are things that I do to help my foot.\n\nArthritis:\nTendinitis\n\nWhat Is Tendinitis? \n\nTendinitis is an inflammation or irritation of the tendon, a thick cord that attaches bone to muscle.\n\nWhat is a bone spur? \n\nA bone spur (osteophyte) is a bony growth formed on normal bone. Most people think of something sharp when they think of a "spur," but a bone spur is just extra bone. It’s usually smooth, but it can cause wear and tear or pain if it presses or rubs on other bones or soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, or nerves in the body. Common places for bone spurs include the spine, shoulders, hands, hips, knees, and feet.\n\nI put some items from webmd on tendons and the bone spur.

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!

Standing too long on your feet. Walking alot. Ill fitting shoes. Poor circulation. Just some of many reasons. If it persists see a podiatrist.:)

Could be plantar fascitis....... see a doctor to confirm.  In the mean time get better shoes, use an arch support. look it up on the internet and get stretches for the foot. Ice it at night for 10 min prior to bed.

Just like charbar I have that pain in my feet when I get up.You might want to see a chiropractor for a check up.It could be poor circulation of blood, or possibly pressure on some nerves in your back.I have some back problems myself.

Sounds like a neuropathy (nerve impingement).  I have the same thing and it is a diabetic neuropathy.  I know, it does drive you crazy.  I sometime put pressure on it with my other foot or massage it and it helps a little.

u cant cure it by a homeopathic medicine. it is a bone spurt into the tissue and the onl way to "fix it " would be to go to a padiatrist aka a foot dr. he will opper8 and file it down.
