Many possibilities: Foot pain could result from different reasons, of which may include: trauma (fracture, tendon or ligamentous tear, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout) musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality, or neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly laboratory and radiology exams could determine the cause. If symptoms persist get it evaluated.

You would have: To be more specific in terms of location of that pain other than "inside of my foot"...

It depends: If it under your heel or arch it could be plantar fasciitis, in the ball of the foot a neuroma or joint issue. See a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis.
