Why does the bottom of my foot pop when I stand up?

My foot has been hurting for a while?

• my foot has been hurting for two months now and i don't recall injuring it and when i first noticed the pain i could see and feel variations in each foot and the spot that huts is between my 2nd and third toe down about a centimeter from where the foot starts between the toes and it hurts when i put pressure on it. i can feel a difference between my feet still and on the bottom of my foot it feels like it's bumping downward slightly. it hurts halfway vertically through the toe and i iced it for like two days straight which didn't help and i can still walk and run but it still hurts a bit. it hurts more when i am not wearing shoes and i have changed my foot wear several times before/after it started hurting and it would hurt more in the morning for a while but that stopped for the most part and it hurts throughout the day evenly now but is only noticeable when i put pressure on it. once i got it to crack/pop without hurting then it stopped hurting for two days but i also streched and excersized it that day. sometimes the pain will migrate a centimeter or two from where it originally hurt. the foot that hurts has it's 2nd and 3rd toe separated twice as far than the other foot and the foot that hurts tendons' that are at the top of the foot connecting to the bases of the toes doesn't appear when i move my toes up as it does when my okay foot moves the toes vertically. Thank you for your help, it is very much appreciated.

• Answer:

  See your health care provider as soon as possible ( podiatrist). The nerves that supply sensation to the front portion of your foot and your toes run between the long bones of the foot, the metatarsals. (There is a metatarsal just behind each toe.) Tight-fitting shoes can squeeze the nerves between the bones, and this may cause swelling in a nerve, a Morton's neuroma. The swelling is very sensitive, and pressure can cause intense pain. If pressure is constant, some numbness between the toes may also occur. Morton's neuroma occurs most commonly between the third and fourth metatarsals (between the middle toe and the next toe toward the outside of the foot). If your big toe points toward the other four toes on that foot, the end of the metatarsal behind the big toe may rub against the shoe. The skin thickens over the end of the metatarsal, and the metatarsal itself may develop a bony spur at that point. This is a bunion, and if it becomes inflamed and sore, it can make life miserable. Shoes with adequate room around the ball of the foot are necessary. Acetaminophen three times a day for two to three weeks may also help. Cortisone injections, no more than three, may be tried if relief hasn't been obtained with oral medication and switching shoes. I hope this helps you. And good luck.
