Accepted Answer

May be trouble!: Patients with diabetes are at higher risk for foot infections and ulcers (skin breakdown), due to nerve damage, inadequate blood flow to feet, and impaired immune function (all due to high glucose). If you have pain under your toe, you need to be checked out for infections, or ulcers, or even bone fractures. Diabetes is the leading cause of amputations -- check it out before losing a toe or foot!

Question 7

im having pain in a cut on my foot, it stings and has a sharp throbbing pain from it, and i feel nauseous ?

Foot: I hope you have it covered and bandaged. Do you need stitches?  The top of the foot can hurt extra bad with cuts or bruises because there is a nerve that runs on top of the foot that commonly gets irritated.

Question 8

i have sharp throbbing pain on my right foot where the bone is located in the middle of my foot. what causes this pain?

Accepted Answer

Usually tendonitis: The prominent bone on the inside, arch area of the foot is where a very important tendon that holds up your arch is attached.  The sharp pain may be due to this created tendonitis.  Best to see your podiatrist and have it looked at, especially to rule out a fracture.

Question 9

hi have a throbbing pain in my foot and ankle, have had no injury or fall but very painful any advice would be appreciated?

For starters take --: Some pain meds, rest the foot, icing/heat pads might be helpful as well.
Seeing your gp would be helpful to get evaluated/investigated/treated or onward referral to a podiatrist/foot ; ankle doc. A lot depends on whether the pain is on the top or bottom of the foot and on being examined.
Good luck.
