What does throbbing sensation in the foot mean?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Can't tell : Without more info and exam. Where is it throbbing? How long has it been present. Exam by podiatrist would help a lot best of luck.

Pain comes in waves: It means that the pain tends to come in waves, not just steady but like a wave. Throbbing is often associated with an infection.
