A member asked:

Pain on outside edge of foot, midway between little toe and heel. significant throbbing. cannot rest foot on that side at all. ???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

X-ray needed: That area of the foot could be painful for many reasons like a stress fracture, tendinitis, arthritis or just the biomechanics of your foot. See a podiatrist for evaluation.
