I am 44 female and the top of my right foot hurts and when i rub it pain shoots down to my big toe and sometime big toe falls asleep?

Nerve pain: You may have crushed a nerve on the top of the foot .Nerves on the top of the foot are easy to crush, a shoe can be the cause. If it continues check with your dr.

Neuropathy: Or affectation of a nerve is what may be causing your problem. I would recommend you see your local podiatrist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Compression: Or entrapment of the deep peroneal nerve otherwise referred to as anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome is what it sounds like. If there is a bony prominence on the top of the foot, the nerve can get sandwiched between the bone and your shoe. See a doctor as continued pressure can cause thinning of the nerve.
