> [@voice of reason](#): > > Got health insurance? Use it. Sure it’s probably nothing, but shit’s not supposed to randomly start hurting for no reason. It definitely sounds like a nerve thing, which means it’s probably nothing but could also be very serious. Go to a doctor to make sure it’s nothing. ---

Just putting pressure on it makes it worse. there is NO swelling at all. As for being active, not so much. Im just getting over being sick, so i haven’t been to the gym in 2 weeks Could you have stepped on it wrong and not really realized it? Try to think if you had put any abnormal pressure on the injured area. You very well could have gotten a stress fracture. It is basically just a very small hairline crack that develops in the bone. This is actualy what a “shin splint” is, and you can get them pretty much anywhere. Seriously man, Ice the hell out of your foot. 1. it will reduce and internal inflammation that may and probably has occurred, and 2. it will help reduce the pain. Most inflammation from an injury is caused by an increase in blood flow to the injury site area, and by applying ice you shrink the capillaries which in turn reduces the amount of blood flow to the injury site, which will relieve excess pressure and reduce pain caused by inflammation. There are many very small parts in your feet and you can easily damage them without realizing it, that is why it hurts like hell, it is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Go to your doctor and see what they say. It sounds to me like it could be either a pinched nerve, or some sort of stress injury to the bone/ligaments/tendons. It could also be some sort of tendonitis (sp) or similar ailment. > [@WebMD](#): > > -Rest and protect a sore area. Stop, change, or take a break from any activity that may be causing your pain or soreness. > > -Elevate the injured or sore area on pillows while applying ice and any time you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the area at or above the level of your heart to help minimize swelling. > > -Apply an ice or cold pack to the injured or sore area at least 3 times a day for as long as you have pain, swelling, and inflammation. For the first 72 hours, ice for 10 minutes, once an hour. After that, use ice for 15 to 20 minutes, 3 times a day: in the morning, in the late afternoon after work or school, and about one-half hour before bedtime. Also, ice after any prolonged activity or vigorous exercise. Hope that helps. ---

After my Shoulder surgery I lost alot of muscle from laying around for a month, and I haven’t been very active so I pinch alot of nerves in my shoulder/back. It sucks. A good way to prevent this is streaching good before bed and when you wake up in the morning. I got about a year or so more before my arm is completely healed. Can’t wait lol. ---

Thanks guys. i ended up soaking it last night it hot water with epsom salt for about 35 min, then i wrapped it up. Then took ibuprofen. It hurt last night just elevated… without any pressure. This morning, it feels much better. But still not able to put much pressure on it, but i can now walk… it seems to be getting better, but i will see how it is in a few days. If it still hurts, ill go see a doctor ---
