Foot pain: Pain at the top of your foot could be caused by many things. You could have a tendinitis of the extensor tendons or a contusion of the foot. You may also have a fracture or a stress fracture. If the pain persists you should see a podiatrist for further valuation.

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).
