A member asked:

Just got home from watching track meet.and my foot is really hurting right in my 1st metatarsal.didnt hurt it but hurts to move foot.not really bruise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Knowing what part: Of the bone hurts would help. The head of the bone at the joint? The shaft? The bottom of the head. Lots of possibilities: is it the sesamoid area? Is there swelling? Is there redness? Try and be as specific as possible.... Gout, stress fracture, sesamoid it's or fracture are all in the differential diagnosis.
