Or the pain on the top of the foot could be Arthritis. That's what I was diagnosed with. I have been to different Podiatrist and I found some won't offer much hope or actual treatments. They will do Cortisone shots though. So I have done everything from the Cortisone shots to lacing shoes so the middle of the shoe was not being laced. I have had Orthotics and I now where Orthotic inserts sold thru a Podiatrist. They do help since I have flat feet. I would ice the foot I would take Aleve. The pain returns usually in about 6 weeks after the cortisone shots. I won't do them anymore. I found I had to just deal with it and I still go out and walk miles. Some days are actually better than others with this type of pain. The pain can actually be less after walking. Much of the pain I found gets worse after sitting. When I get up it hurts until I walk around abit then it gets better. I was also told not to bother with surgery. My guess is because I have reached the senior years, and the method of treatment we are given is different than for a younger person. I refuse to sit and just whine about my foot hurting so I'm out everyday walking and hiking. Some things you just have to learn to live with that's how life is.
Yes, arthritis can be a cause and is frustrating. I can hear your frustration and I applaud you for not taking it lying down. Cortisone injections do only provide temporary relief in this situation. I can’t comment on surgery without knowing the particulars if your situation. But keep on walking and hiking!
Finally, someone who has what I have! I've had 2 podiatrists tell me that it is Arthritis. I also wear Orthotics prescribed by a Podiatrist. I've never tried Cortisone. It doesn't hurt constantly, but it is more painful after being off my feet for a time, such as when I get up in the morning. A little walking helps, but too much walking makes it worse. For some reason, it feels best if I do an exercise class like cardio for Seniors (which I am). When I recently tried to walk for an hour (like I used to), it was very painful the next day. I'm now beginning to exercise by swimming. It is easier on my feet. I keep watching videos like this, and they never mention Arthritis. Like you, I have just learned to live with it. I don't want to be taking pain relievers all the time. By trial and error, I am figuring out what works best. It was SO NICE to finally find someone with the same issue. I know your post is 2 years old, but I finally don't feel alone with this problem because it is a daily problem.
Custom orthotics are only temporary fix, your feet and ankles will become more weak and unstable. Strengthen your feet and ankles with simple exercises for a non-bandaid fix.
I was fine yesterday no pain nothing. Went to bed and woke up with pain in my foot. Every time I step down the top of my foot hurts and almost makes me leg buckle.
@Alan Dawson went to the hospital, got chrcked out. Nothing was wrong which is just so odd to me. Few days later in doing better. I recommend compression wrapping your foot and elevating it for a bit each day.
@@newax_productions2069do you have any other additions regarding what fixed the issue for you? Also, what compression were you recommending cold or hot? Please do reply the area exact opposite of the heel is hurting right now, it would help a lot.
Thank you for this very clear description of top-of-the-foot pain which I have recently been experiencing. I think I have had shin splints from over-enthusiastic over-flexion of my feet and ankles in aqua fit classes. They take around 36 to 48 hours to feel better, but I also have bone spurs on top of both feet, so this description has been very useful in helping me to nail what is going on.
I went to a Kaiser podiatrist and he did not even mention bone spur on top of my foot, barely did an exam and I have a high arch. Told to take an anti inflammatory med. I can feel a bump there and it is painful. Definitely going for a second opinion. Good explanations. Thanks.
This was actually quite comprehensive, thank you. I told people around me that I think I sprained my foot, and they kept correcting me to "ankle", to which I replied "foot" to which they smiled knowingly at me. 😉
Some other authors and videos show different foot exercises to relieve top of the foot pain. These have helped me. No medication, no special surgery or shoe insoles. Of course I know what caused this: a different shoe with Too tight laces.
Thank you so much. Great video. It helped me understand what might be going on with my recent foot pain. I'm sure I need some custom orthotics like you suggested and will see my doc. Thx
Oh god I hope I don't have a stress fracture. I was walking in the factory when I suddenly experienced "crunchy pain" and I started limp because it hurt so bad. Painkillers and Voltaren creme don't do much and when I climb the stairs the spot that hurts clicks 😬
I was born with club foot and have had 3 corrective unsuccessful surgery. Basically the foot was broken and reset into a rigid position to be able to walk. I walk on the outer edge of my foot and have a lot of problems with callouses. However now in my 50s I am getting a pain on the top of the my foot. My pain is when the foot rocks forward in the walking motion and I can’t walk unless I turn my foot outwards to be less the pain. My dilemma now is whether to see a physio, podiatrist , or an orthopaedic surgeon to get more surgery. Short term I ice the foot and try to do self massage. I think it is tendon pain , like a sharp knife pain that literally seizes me up when I walk forward. So sharp that I whince! I have orthotics and have had special boots in the past but now just use very rigid hiking boots to walk. Keeps my ankle stable as I had Achilles lengthened when I was a child but my heel is still not on the ground. I know rest is good , but I am on feet a lot. Thanks for the video
Thank you for this information, doctor. I have pain on top of my foot and because of my exercise regime, I'm pretty sure it is a hairline fracture. I was trying to find a good orthopedic device to brace it while it heals, but most only seem to be for ankles, shins, or toes. I'm still looking for one and if you or anyone here has a recommendation, I would happily accept the guidance. Thanks again, doc.
Thank You I had this type of pain on the top of my left foot. The foot and ankle dr. He took xrays and said i had injured my ankle. the ;pain was really bad and unstable I fell multiple times. he gave me an ankle brace and the pain was lessened. But 2 weeks later it's starting to hurt again.
marjorie Haylett i have been looking for answers for days,just found them i was climbing over an object and fell face down the top of my foot sprain i was still hopping around and is wondering if i’m causing further damage. i got the answer thank you very much.
Many thanks. Unfortunately, I live in an area where there aren't any podiatrists - not one! I am self diagnosing. After 2 months, ace bandage, foot/ankle wrap - I'm still in pain. Sometimes burning at the head of my metatarsals (3-5), other times throbbing in the middle of my foot. I'm tired from it. I'm tired of this place!
TOP OF FOOT PAIN? SEE A FOOT DOCTOR! Don't let this video stop you from seeing your doctor! I know someone - the top of their foot pain (discovered by their foot doctor) is that they have fallen arches which have fallen so badly that they now have arthritis on top of their foot as well as cysts because the arch fell - so did the top of their foot; so the rubbing that has taken place where the top of their foot has fallen is a problem! The fallen arches are a problem!! Sometimes it hurts this person just to walk, so if they had KNOWN to go see their foot doctor when they first started experiencing a type of top of foot strange feeling, they might have been able to prevent themselves from getting so bad if their doctor had known they needed help. If someone has top of foot pain they need to see a GOOD foot doctor to find out the cause!
I couldn’t agree more. The video just identifies some of the problems. But, I agree that people dealing with this kind of painful condition should see their foot doctor. I am one after all!
I broke both of my heels. As of now I don’t know if there is any other damage. They only took X-rays of the bottom of my feet and ankles. I have a piercing pain on top of my right foot on the bone coming from my big toe. I didn’t notice it until a few nights ago while sleep I had my left foot on top of my right foot and my heel pressed against that bone. It sends like a shock through my foot when that bone is pressed. I guess somehow I got a stress fracture maybe. Imma have to go get it checked out. Thanks for the content
With a stress fracture, is it possible for the top/outer side of the foot to be VERY sensitive to VERY light touch? My boyfriend has no swelling or bruising or tendon pain. But the pain DOES get worse during the day and it particularly hurts if the top of his foot presses on the ground (kneeling or pressing into the bed during sleep). The pain seems to ONLY be in that area, and the top/inner part of his foot do not hurt to the touch, and neither does his ankle. Lmk if you have any insight.
If you have medical insurance, I would suggest an MRI. Stress fractures don't show up well on an ordinary X-ray. If the MRI is clear (nothing broken), have him ace wrap it for a couple of weeks, elevate it as much as possible and rest it. I'm not a doctor, but I have the same upper foot ailment. I've had to research & self diagnose, because there are no podiatrists where I live. Good luck.
My feet are swollen or puffy and when i stretch my feet the feet turn white in certain spots , i have phibilation of the heart ,on blood thinners, water pills , and 1/2 heart pill twicw a day , my legs ,under the knee are puffy , i been on fluid pifor 2 weeks but hadnt helped my feet and legs very much what do you think? Im overweight and 79 and keep my feet elevated most of day , i get no exercises exercises
I would set up an appointment right now if I could but I live in Florida. And you're all the way over in Texas. Everything you described fits me to a T
My left foot is always swollen during the day. It hurts on the front and the bottom. Toes are numb too. Pain and swelling are there even if I spend the day sitting. Swelling always goes down at night, and so does the pain. X-ray didn't reveal any issues. Doctors are at loss.
I’m 78 and have osteoarthritis. My right foot has a bad bunion but yesterday stepping onto my right foot nearly put me on the ground with a sharp pain on the upper side…something that is totally new. I’d been wearing flip flops recently so maybe the combination of no support plus osteoarthritis?
I had an MRI due to top of foot pain and constant pain when standing and/or walking. The results are peroneus bevis split tear at the distal to the lateral malleolus and the anterior talobibular ligament is chronically torn. What amazes me is 15 years ago I and a navivular fracture with the same symptoms. My ortho guy is awesome! BTW I'm 77 and very active but not a runner.
my podiatrist said its arthritis. he did no xray or anything. i honestly think its tendonitis but how do i get an xray or something ordered if he wont listen or consider it..
I am listening to your video. I had xrays, but nothing found or wrong. With walking, my toe, next to my big toe, feels like it's being pulled, popped, with every step, plus my toes hurt after walking in good shoes. My toes are sore after a long walk. I wake with beat up toes and very front of foot. Nothing is swollen. This has been going on for few years. Toe popping toe is worst part. I wear burkenstock to avoid this. I can't wear most of my good now.
I have anterior impingement of both ankles. I had arthroscopic surgery on my right ankle in 2020. The doctor removed any debris, but it didn't help with the impingement. I had cortisone shots which didn't help much. Recently, my doctor gave me a anmblio injection in my right foot. It helped a little bit. I am waiting to get the injection of the left foot, but my doctor is waiting for this injection being approved by Medicare. It has been very frustrating dealing with this. I don't walk around too well. I can walk without a cane,but I do use one for longer walks. I am just reaching out to Doctors for any advice. Thanks.
I'm sorry you're suffering with this painful condition. In the last few months, Amnio injections were pulled from the Medicare formulary. An alternative is using platelet rich plasma injections which would be as successful as the amnio, if not more so. The negative is that it is not covered by insurance.
Thanks for your response. I have pes cavus feet which is causing the anterior impingement. I think that I am near the end to be able to do anything else. I would not do the major surgery to fix the high arches.I am 66 and I would not recover from major surgery. It is just frustrating that nothing can be done to help me be out of pain. Thanks, Doctor.
I had a fall over a year ago. Felt popping along the top of my foot as I fell. X-rays showed no breakage. The top of my foot stays tender all of the time. Often painful by the end of my work day. Ibuprofen helps, so does topical ointment. Just doesn't seem to improve. Arch is fine. No spur as far as I can tell. I do have arthritis, but it doesn't feel like that. Is there anything I can do?
It happened to me. I saw a physio and then a podiatrist. I’ve now got orthotics and firm shoes to support collapsing bones. I stretch to relieve tightness in my calves. I use ice packs as required but rolling with a tennis ball under my arch gives instant relief.
Hi doctor...my mom is also suffering from an atrocious pain in her feet ...how to treat it...ive visited several doctors ...but still no one was able to treat her...can u pls advise.
If the pain is so hard to diagnose, it may be a form of peripheral neuropathy. This is generally difficult to find the cause. You may want to visit with a neurologist to see if this is the case.
Can you get Extensor Tendinitis from gout attacks? I don't know if I do have Extensor Tendinitis but I have pain on the top of my left foot and I felt this pain since I had that gout attack a year ago. It's painful when I walk, when I go down the stairs and when I lift the front foot. This past year has been hell and I could really use some information. Just a little medical background: I'm 35 years old, male, 5'10, 240 lbs, and I get gout attacks from time to time (1-3 times a year) and I'm also flat footed.
It's unlikely that you got extensor tendinitis from a gout attack. It's much more likely that you have it because of your flat feet. The instability of your flat feet cause the tendons to work harder. Consider visiting a podiatrist for medical-grade insoles or custom orthotics. That should help to stabilize your feet and help with the pain.
I had a gout attack and it finished and then a week later the tendons to all my toes made a funny feeling and that stopped. Then yesterday I got a pain further up on my foot , kind of 2/3 the way to the leg and toward the center and outer edge. Today I can hardly walk. I have to walk on my heal with the toe up and it hurts. I have to get my fathers cane and try that because I can't walk. The fool is only very slightly swollen now. If I press in the middle of the foot the pain goes away. I am going to try to put on my runners and jamb something in to put pressure in the middle. I don't have any big bumps like bone spurs on anything like that and I don't exercise. I did no hard work on that foot at all except walk around the house. I sounds similar to what you have and I don't think it was identified , I have watched 3 video's now and you are the first person I see with these symptoms.
I drank about a gallon of water and today the pain is gone from the top of my foot but it spread to the toe area so it is gout. Yesterday I could not put any weight on my right foot and the pain was terrible. Today it is not bad and slowly getting better. Very funny how the pain started and progressed. I had a gout attack about a month ago , then last week we all got the same cold or maybe a flu and I took decongestant pseudoephedrine. It dries you out and the loss of hydration could have triggered this gout.
I awaken with Charlie horses so bad I scream and it pulls my big toe straight back. I try everything it’s horrible any quick fix? Any idea why this happens???
I have inflammation on top of the right foot since an year ,now I feel some kind of vibration in the ankle and back of the leg. I do a lot of trail walks as well.my left foot looks swollen on top starting from bunion area till ankle.i cannot see any veins on this foot in comparison to my right foot which is normal..what can you suggest please?
It may be extensor tendinitis. It may be a stress fracture. Having this amount of pain for as long as you've had it, it's really hard to tell. If you haven't already, make sure to get seen for an x-ray. If that's not conclusive, then an MRI would be helpful.
It could be the shoe. It could be a tendinitis. If your foot hurts in a particular area, try skipping the laces in that area, so they don’t cross over it. That will help relieve the pressure.
Well , my redness, pain and swelling can't be fixed so here is a new one for your buddies. A tall young man experiences a 6 inch growth in one years time at age 11. Now in high school, football is it. First game, late hit broken ankle. Set and X-Ray show thin bone density and told not to play. A coach says let's teach you to run long distances. Here are your converse tennis shoes and we will go 13 miles on these gravel roads and go to school, oh...let's average a 6 minute mile. Run, repeat, run, repeat. Now 4 years passed and the kid is given a "TEE" shirt that says "7,000 Mile Club". Yeh! Even after 3 events at track meets the kid is given the task of jogging 4 miles out of strange town to a distant water tower on hill and jog back, oh, let's average 6 minute miles. Kid goes to college impressed with his mile state record and 1:56 half mile run. (2 minute 1/2 mile is 20 MPH) Team wins meets that are 5-6 miles long on golf courses. Team wins 1-8 positions before another school comes in. They pick a number to run in the nationals in NJ and win first place. With no money for school, kid works. Work turns into job on concrete all day. 30+ years pass, Dr X-rays with nothing, pushes finger into 20 some spots and hurt like hell. Orders orthotic inserts and shown how to wear. Worn everyday without fail and feet hurt worse to the point they are off for good. Dr is confused and dismissive. 10+ years pass, now only the tops are swollen and red. No issues with ankle and blood flow checked with sonogram. Only the long bones have arthritis and enlarged at each antique stress fractures that total 7 in left foot and 9 in right foot. Swollen, Red skin and when pushed on, turns white at that point, yet quickly (2.5 seconds) turns back to Red, indicating good blood flow as the Dr indicated, plus, there was nothing they could do for a long term fix. Wear loose oversized shoes, leave laces loose and seal with it. Sucks to get old! Have a nice day! ASE Master Tech, retired!
i think i have another problem,so my big finger of the left foot is closer to the ground than other fingers and that makes my foot to don t be flat do you know if that is a problem?
I think I have the tendinitis you mentioned. I am on my feet all day as an O.R. Nurse. We have been short staffed and I have worked up to 14 days in a row for 12 to 14 hours a day. I have spent hundreds of dollars on all types of shoes but to no avail. For a while I was sleeping with ice packs o. My feet but then I realized heat felt so much better. Is that crazy?
The fix will never be supportive shoes or orthotics, it takes foot and ankle strengthening because of the decade of wearing supportive shoes that weaken your feet. Look into xero shoes
I have really bad pain, itching inside my foot and numbness after standing an hour I'm not able to use the stairs Like to cut my foot and throw down from my ankle. It happens after my injury. The very heavy object fall on my foot. My 1st symptom is the upper side of my foot changes its color looks green, pink, and purple. The skin comes normally after 2months But the pain inside my foot Is worse day by day what can I do about it.
If you're feeling a deep pain, like itching, inside your foot, it is likely a nerve issue. You may want to visit with a neurologist to test and make sure there are no issues with the nerves.
I don’t have pain but part of the top of my left foot is numb, between my big toe and 2nd toe that goes all the way down and has been like this for a couple days and consistent
I have a burning sensation on top of my foot towards the back near the joint.. i'm hoping it's one of these.. i was worried my kidneys were going bad..
I have a problem on the top of my foot A muscle connected to my big toe hurts whenever i move it, whenever i move it i feel the tendons and my joints move It isnt a spur since theres no bum on top but it hurts whenever i massage it or move it. I am unable to run and walk properly, it feels like a triggered finger on my big toe
What you're feeling is the inflammation on the top of your foot causing a throbbing sensation. It may feel like the vein is swollen, but that's unlikely the source of your pain.
It's hard to say. If you have pain when you're getting up from sitting or lying down, it is likely a soft tissue inflammation. Try ice and anti-inflammatories to see if they help.
I'm 67, and have had longstanding burning pain and irritation (side of innner arch and top of foot) from the medial cuneiform bone and some of the tendons attaching to it, so that I had to quite hiking. I wound up taking a proteolytic enzyme supplement called Repair Gold, on an empty stomach every morning. This supplement, which helps with inflammation and scar tissue, has been a lifesaver for me, so I can return to hiking and running.
When you say stop activity, does this mean all forms of exercise including walking? I felt pain on the top of my right foot thursday last week mid 10k run. Stopped running for several days, but i still did my usual weight training, even did leg training like squat, lunges, single leg calf raises, even some plyo on friday. Foot only hurts when i run, not on any other activity. I tried running again last night, a tuesday, but when i felt some pain again on the top of the right foot, i stopped and just went on a 5K walk, frustrated. Just returned to running after 7 yrs. Been running for just 6 weeks.
I really mean to stop all activity where you feel pain. Unless you know there's an injury, like a stress fracture. Then you'll have to stop everything. My guess is you're dealing with a tendonitis and should get it checked out so you can run without pain.
Mine is killing me just now at the whare the leg meets the foot its swollen for some reason and putting it down in the ground its like pressure build up its more an uncomfortable pain than a sore pain but it's hurts like heck haha odd one I know
It is funny how the brain tries to make up stuff, I wondered if I'd dropped something on top of my foot too. I have very flat feet too. I know what caused it and I need to get it back to normal ASAP.
That shouldn't be the case. You should definitely visit a podiatrist and get an x-ray taken. There are a lot of causes of swelling, but it's important to figure out why it's happening.
any way hears a recipe for lasagna 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil 1 pound ground beef chuck 1/2 medium onion, diced (about 3/4 cup) 1/2 large bell pepper (green, red, or yellow), diced (about 3/4 cup) 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 (28-ounce)can good-quality tomato sauce 3 ounces tomato paste (half a 6-ounce can) 1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, or 2 teaspoons dried oregano 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (preferably flat leaf), packed 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning 1 pinch garlic powder and/or garlic salt 1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup sugar (to taste, optional) Salt Start by making the sauce with ground beef, bell peppers, onions, and a combo of tomato sauce, tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes. The three kinds of tomatoes gives the sauce great depth of flavor. Let this simmer while you boil the noodles and get the cheeses ready. We're using ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan -- like the mix of tomatoes, this 3-cheese blend gives the lasagna great flavor! From there, it's just an assembly job. A cup of meat sauce, a layer of noodles, more sauce, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat until you have three layers and have used up all the ingredients. 1/2 pound dry lasagna noodles (requires 9 lasagna noodles - unbroken) 15 ounces ricotta cheese 1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces) mozzarella cheese, grated or sliced 1/4 pound (4 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese1/2 pound dry lasagna noodles (requires 9 lasagna noodles - unbroken) 15 ounces ricotta cheese Put pasta water on to boil: Put a large pot of salted water (1 tablespoon of salt for every 2 quarts of water) on the stovetop on high heat. It can take a while for a large pot of water to come to a boil (this will be your pasta water), so prepare the sauce in the next steps while the water is heating. Brown the ground beef: In a large skillet heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is lightly browned on all sides. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Drain off all but a tablespoon of fat. Cook the bell pepper, onions, and garlic; add back the beef: Add the diced bell pepper and onions to the skillet (in the photo we are using yellow bell pepper and red onions). Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the peppers softened. Add the minced garlic and cook half a minute more. Return the browned ground beef to the pan. Stir to combine, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 5 minutes. Make the sauce: Transfer the beef mixture to a medium-sized (3- to 4-quart) pot. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste to the pot. Add the parsley, oregano, and Italian seasonings, adjusting the amounts to taste. Sprinkle with garlic powder and/or garlic salt, to taste. Sprinkle with red or white wine vinegar. Stir in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, tasting after each addition, to taste. (The amount of sugar needed will vary, depending on how acidic the tomatoes are that you are using.) Add salt to taste, and note that you will later be adding Parmesan, which is salty. Bring the sauce to a simmer and then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook for 15 to 45 minutes, stirring often. Scrape the bottom of the pot every so often so nothing sticks to the bottom and scorches. Remove from heat. Boil and drain the lasagna noodles: By now the salted water you started heating in step one should be boiling. Add the dry lasagna noodles and cook them to al dente, per package directions. (Note noodles may be cooked in advance.) Stir often to prevent from sticking. Make sure that water remains at a full rolling boil during the entire cooking to prevent noodles from sticking. When ready, drain in a colander and rinse with cool water, gently separating any noodles that may be sticking together. Spread a little olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet, and lay out the cooked noodles on this sheet, turning them over so that they get coated with a little of the olive oil. This will prevent them from sticking together. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Assemble the lasagna: In a 9x13-inch casserole or lasagna dish, ladle a cup of sauce and spread it over the bottom of the dish. Arrange one layer of lasagna noodles lengthwise (about 3 long noodles, the edges may overlap, depending on your pan) over the sauce. Ladle a third of the remaining sauce over the noodles. Sprinkle a layer of a third of the grated mozzarella on top of the lasagna sauce. Add half of the ricotta cheese, by placing cheese dollops every couple of inches. Sprinkle half the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the ricotta cheese. Apply the second layer of noodles and top it with half of the remaining sauce. Add half of the remaining mozzarella, the remaining ricotta cheese, and another the remaining Parmesan. Finish with another layer of noodles. Spread the remaining sauce over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake: Cover the lasagna pan with aluminum foil, tented slightly so it doesn't touch the noodles or sauce). Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Uncover in the last 10 minutes if you'd like more of a crusty top or edges. Cool and serve: Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 15 before serving. Leftovers will keep for about 5 days. You can reheat it in a conventional oven or microwave. Leave the aluminum tent on for storage. (Try to keep the aluminum foil from touching the sauce.)
For a month I've had front foot pain across the top and front bottom (not the heal at all) plus ankle pain that shoots up to my thighs and hips sometimes. Stiff muscles on the back of the calfs for 2.5 weeks. I did do 3 hours of dancing in high heels at my daughters wedding on a concrete floor before the pain. I had not worn high heels in 3 years and even fell while in them. 8 days after the wedding, while walking, I had the worse pain in my feet and weakness and it never goes away. I evern tried new tennis shoes but that didn't help. I had blood work done and xray of my feet and ankle and so far nothing is showing. The pain only goes away with ibuprofen but then comes right back. I was a 4-5 a day walker of 1-2 miles and now I can't go one block without pain. What do you think it is? Could it be from that night of dancing? Could pain suddenly happen 8 days from that and walking a few miles aggravated something within my feet?
It seems crazy, but it can be from the night of dancing in heels. It could have started an inflammatory process that only became painful a week later. There are stronger anti-inflammatories that you may want to try from your doctor. Over the counter, if you can take them, you may want to try Aleve twice a day consistently for a couple of weeks. Hope you feel better soon!
Every time I where shoes that are to small it makes the top of my foot and big toe hurt really bad do u know what it is Edit: I have a bone spur it's crazy because I'm only 17
Even at 17 you can have a bone spur. Yes, it seems crazy, but I've seen it happen. Try this lacing pattern to keep the pressure off of the spur: ua-cam.com/video/f41MjcwCacw/v-deo.html

Or the pain on the top of the foot could be Arthritis. That's what I was diagnosed with. I have been to different Podiatrist and I found some won't offer much hope or actual treatments. They will do Cortisone shots though. So I have done everything from the Cortisone shots to lacing shoes so the middle of the shoe was not being laced. I have had Orthotics and I now where Orthotic inserts sold thru a Podiatrist. They do help since I have flat feet. I would ice the foot I would take Aleve. The pain returns usually in about 6 weeks after the cortisone shots. I won't do them anymore. I found I had to just deal with it and I still go out and walk miles. Some days are actually better than others with this type of pain. The pain can actually be less after walking. Much of the pain I found gets worse after sitting. When I get up it hurts until I walk around abit then it gets better. I was also told not to bother with surgery. My guess is because I have reached the senior years, and the method of treatment we are given is different than for a younger person. I refuse to sit and just whine about my foot hurting so I'm out everyday walking and hiking. Some things you just have to learn to live with that's how life is.
Yes, arthritis can be a cause and is frustrating. I can hear your frustration and I applaud you for not taking it lying down. Cortisone injections do only provide temporary relief in this situation. I can’t comment on surgery without knowing the particulars if your situation. But keep on walking and hiking!
Perhaps you should try changing your diet, carnivore has helped significantly with my joint pain.
I have this too but I’m 28 haha
I have olso flat foot and upper portion is paining should i wear ortho shoes
Finally, someone who has what I have! I've had 2 podiatrists tell me that it is Arthritis. I also wear Orthotics prescribed by a Podiatrist. I've never tried Cortisone. It doesn't hurt constantly, but it is more painful after being off my feet for a time, such as when I get up in the morning. A little walking helps, but too much walking makes it worse. For some reason, it feels best if I do an exercise class like cardio for Seniors (which I am). When I recently tried to walk for an hour (like I used to), it was very painful the next day. I'm now beginning to exercise by swimming. It is easier on my feet. I keep watching videos like this, and they never mention Arthritis. Like you, I have just learned to live with it. I don't want to be taking pain relievers all the time. By trial and error, I am figuring out what works best. It was SO NICE to finally find someone with the same issue. I know your post is 2 years old, but I finally don't feel alone with this problem because it is a daily problem.
Custom orthotics are only temporary fix, your feet and ankles will become more weak and unstable. Strengthen your feet and ankles with simple exercises for a non-bandaid fix.
Thank you for this informative video. Your style of speaking is clear and a pleasure to listen to.
I was fine yesterday no pain nothing. Went to bed and woke up with pain in my foot. Every time I step down the top of my foot hurts and almost makes me leg buckle.
Pleased I saw this post as this is what happened to my left foot a week ago. I thought I'd had cramp in my sleep.
@Alan Dawson went to the hospital, got chrcked out. Nothing was wrong which is just so odd to me. Few days later in doing better.
I recommend compression wrapping your foot and elevating it for a bit each day.
Me too. It's freaking annoying!
@@newax_productions2069do you have any other additions regarding what fixed the issue for you? Also, what compression were you recommending cold or hot?
Please do reply the area exact opposite of the heel is hurting right now, it would help a lot.

Thank you for this very clear description of top-of-the-foot pain which I have recently been experiencing. I think I have had shin splints from over-enthusiastic over-flexion of my feet and ankles in aqua fit classes. They take around 36 to 48 hours to feel better, but I also have bone spurs on top of both feet, so this description has been very useful in helping me to nail what is going on.
I went to a Kaiser podiatrist and he did not even mention bone spur on top of my foot, barely did an exam and I have a high arch. Told to take an anti inflammatory med. I can feel a bump there and it is painful. Definitely going for a second opinion. Good explanations. Thanks.
This was actually quite comprehensive, thank you. I told people around me that I think I sprained my foot, and they kept correcting me to "ankle", to which I replied "foot" to which they smiled knowingly at me. 😉
Excelent information! In a short time you covered all the possible causes for this problem.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!! God bless!!
Thanks for watching!
nice video
Excellent presentation
This info helped someone in Kenya East Africa. Thank doctor for the free information.
I’m glad you found it helpful!
Good advice
Some other authors and videos show different foot exercises to relieve top of the foot pain. These have helped me. No medication, no special surgery or shoe insoles. Of course I know what caused this: a different shoe with Too tight laces.
Tony, please share what excercises? Have this issue
What is the most likely issue if the pain is in the top of both feet?
Thank you so much. Great video. It helped me understand what might be going on with my recent foot pain. I'm sure I need some custom orthotics like you suggested and will see my doc. Thx
Oh god I hope I don't have a stress fracture. I was walking in the factory when I suddenly experienced "crunchy pain" and I started limp because it hurt so bad.
Painkillers and Voltaren creme don't do much and when I climb the stairs the spot that hurts clicks 😬
I was born with club foot and have had 3 corrective unsuccessful surgery. Basically the foot was broken and reset into a rigid position to be able to walk. I walk on the outer edge of my foot and have a lot of problems with callouses.
However now in my 50s I am getting a pain on the top of the my foot. My pain is when the foot rocks forward in the walking motion and I can’t walk unless I turn my foot outwards to be less the pain.
My dilemma now is whether to see a physio, podiatrist , or an orthopaedic surgeon to get more surgery. Short term I ice the foot and try to do self massage. I think it is tendon pain , like a sharp knife pain that literally seizes me up when I walk forward. So sharp that I whince!
I have orthotics and have had special boots in the past but now just use very rigid hiking boots to walk. Keeps my ankle stable as I had Achilles lengthened when I was a child but my heel is still not on the ground.
I know rest is good , but I am on feet a lot.
Thanks for the video
Thank you for this information, doctor. I have pain on top of my foot and because of my exercise regime, I'm pretty sure it is a hairline fracture. I was trying to find a good orthopedic device to brace it while it heals, but most only seem to be for ankles, shins, or toes. I'm still looking for one and if you or anyone here has a recommendation, I would happily accept the guidance. Thanks again, doc.
Do you have any tips for anything you can do for pain just beneath the Anterior talofibular ligament that happened suddenly while running?
Thank You I had this type of pain on the top of my left foot. The foot and ankle dr. He took xrays and said i had injured my ankle. the ;pain was really bad and unstable I fell multiple times. he gave me an ankle brace and the pain was lessened. But 2 weeks later it's starting to hurt again.
Don't us for watching. We thank you for your help.🙏
I'm glad you find it helpful!
marjorie Haylett i have been looking for answers for days,just found them i was climbing over an object and fell face down the top of my foot sprain i was still hopping around and is wondering if i’m causing further damage. i got the answer thank you very much.
Thanks so much!
Many thanks.
Unfortunately, I live in an area where there aren't any podiatrists - not one!
I am self diagnosing. After 2 months, ace bandage, foot/ankle wrap - I'm still in pain. Sometimes burning at the head of my metatarsals (3-5), other times throbbing in the middle of my foot. I'm tired from it. I'm tired of this place!
Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks for watching!
I have ankle pain whenever I walk. After I watched this video I put on my costume made orthodontics and it helped a lot! ❤
Orthodontics huh,?
TOP OF FOOT PAIN? SEE A FOOT DOCTOR! Don't let this video stop you from seeing your doctor! I know someone - the top of their foot pain (discovered by their foot doctor) is that they have fallen arches which have fallen so badly that they now have arthritis on top of their foot as well as cysts because the arch fell - so did the top of their foot; so the rubbing that has taken place where the top of their foot has fallen is a problem! The fallen arches are a problem!! Sometimes it hurts this person just to walk, so if they had KNOWN to go see their foot doctor when they first started experiencing a type of top of foot strange feeling, they might have been able to prevent themselves from getting so bad if their doctor had known they needed help. If someone has top of foot pain they need to see a GOOD foot doctor to find out the cause!
I couldn’t agree more. The video just identifies some of the problems. But, I agree that people dealing with this kind of painful condition should see their foot doctor. I am one after all!
I saw a good foot doctor and he did nothing but told me to try different shoes and wear the ones most comfortable
Been getting aching in top of foot at bedtime; heat helps but wonder what caused. I do play a lot of golf.
I broke both of my heels. As of now I don’t know if there is any other damage. They only took X-rays of the bottom of my feet and ankles. I have a piercing pain on top of my right foot on the bone coming from my big toe. I didn’t notice it until a few nights ago while sleep I had my left foot on top of my right foot and my heel pressed against that bone. It sends like a shock through my foot when that bone is pressed. I guess somehow I got a stress fracture maybe. Imma have to go get it checked out. Thanks for the content
What medication can I take for pain at the top of my foot, pain killing tablets are not working or creams
With a stress fracture, is it possible for the top/outer side of the foot to be VERY sensitive to VERY light touch? My boyfriend has no swelling or bruising or tendon pain. But the pain DOES get worse during the day and it particularly hurts if the top of his foot presses on the ground (kneeling or pressing into the bed during sleep).
The pain seems to ONLY be in that area, and the top/inner part of his foot do not hurt to the touch, and neither does his ankle.
Lmk if you have any insight.
If you have medical insurance, I would suggest an MRI. Stress fractures don't show up well on an ordinary X-ray.
If the MRI is clear (nothing broken), have him ace wrap it for a couple of weeks, elevate it as much as possible and rest it.
I'm not a doctor, but I have the same upper foot ailment. I've had to research & self diagnose, because there are no podiatrists where I live.
Good luck.
is there an easy test to see if it is a tendons or a bone problem?
My feet are swollen or puffy and when i stretch my feet the feet turn white in certain spots , i have phibilation of the heart ,on blood thinners, water pills , and 1/2 heart pill twicw a day , my legs ,under the knee are puffy , i been on fluid pifor 2 weeks but hadnt helped my feet and legs very much what do you think? Im overweight and 79 and keep my feet elevated most of day , i get no exercises exercises
Did anyone try changing anything in their diet that might have helped?
I would set up an appointment right now if I could but I live in Florida. And you're all the way over in Texas. Everything you described fits me to a T
There are some great docs in Florida. I hope you find one who can address your issue.
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for watching!
My left foot is always swollen during the day. It hurts on the front and the bottom. Toes are numb too.
Pain and swelling are there even if I spend the day sitting. Swelling always goes down at night, and so does the pain. X-ray didn't reveal any issues. Doctors are at loss.
I’m 78 and have osteoarthritis. My right foot has a bad bunion but yesterday stepping onto my right foot nearly put me on the ground with a sharp pain on the upper side…something that is totally new. I’d been wearing flip flops recently so maybe the combination of no support plus osteoarthritis?
I have been having pain on the top of my leg it’s constant now swollen got checked no bone fracture this is terrible what should I do I can’t sleep
An excellent video, very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing doc.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
I also suffering from top foot pain 😪
What is it with Schneiders and feet?
I had an MRI due to top of foot pain and constant pain when standing and/or walking. The results are peroneus bevis split tear at the distal to the lateral malleolus and the anterior talobibular ligament is chronically torn. What amazes me is 15 years ago I and a navivular fracture with the same symptoms. My ortho guy is awesome! BTW I'm 77 and very active but not a runner.
There are so many cause. I’m glad you figured out what was causing yours. Glad you’re receiving great care. Thanks for watching and commenting.
my podiatrist said its arthritis. he did no xray or anything. i honestly think its tendonitis but how do i get an xray or something ordered if he wont listen or consider it..
Thank you
I am listening to your video. I had xrays, but nothing found or wrong. With walking, my toe, next to my big toe, feels like it's being pulled, popped, with every step, plus my toes hurt after walking in good shoes. My toes are sore after a long walk. I wake with beat up toes and very front of foot. Nothing is swollen. This has been going on for few years. Toe popping toe is worst part. I wear burkenstock to avoid this. I can't wear most of my good now.
Hello good sir, is there anything I can do to heal up my ankle. I think I sprained it
Thanx very helpful
I have anterior impingement of both ankles. I had arthroscopic surgery on my right ankle in 2020. The doctor removed any debris, but it didn't help with the impingement. I had cortisone shots which didn't help much. Recently, my doctor gave me a anmblio injection in my right foot. It helped a little bit. I am waiting to get the injection of the left foot, but my doctor is waiting for this injection being approved by Medicare. It has been very frustrating dealing with this. I don't walk around too well. I can walk without a cane,but I do use one for longer walks. I am just reaching out to Doctors for any advice. Thanks.
I'm sorry you're suffering with this painful condition. In the last few months, Amnio injections were pulled from the Medicare formulary. An alternative is using platelet rich plasma injections which would be as successful as the amnio, if not more so. The negative is that it is not covered by insurance.
Thanks for your response. I have pes cavus feet which is causing the anterior impingement. I think that I am near the end to be able to do anything else. I would not do the major surgery to fix the high arches.I am 66 and I would not recover from major surgery. It is just frustrating that nothing can be done to help me be out of pain. Thanks, Doctor.
I had a fall over a year ago. Felt popping along the top of my foot as I fell. X-rays showed no breakage. The top of my foot stays tender all of the time. Often painful by the end of my work day. Ibuprofen helps, so does topical ointment. Just doesn't seem to improve. Arch is fine. No spur as far as I can tell. I do have arthritis, but it doesn't feel like that. Is there anything I can do?
It happened to me. I saw a physio and then a podiatrist. I’ve now got orthotics and firm shoes to support collapsing bones. I stretch to relieve tightness in my calves. I use ice packs as required but rolling with a tennis ball under my arch gives instant relief.
Hi doctor...my mom is also suffering from an atrocious pain in her feet ...how to treat it...ive visited several doctors ...but still no one was able to treat her...can u pls advise.
If the pain is so hard to diagnose, it may be a form of peripheral neuropathy. This is generally difficult to find the cause. You may want to visit with a neurologist to see if this is the case.
Can you get Extensor Tendinitis from gout attacks? I don't know if I do have Extensor Tendinitis but I have pain on the top of my left foot and I felt this pain since I had that gout attack a year ago. It's painful when I walk, when I go down the stairs and when I lift the front foot. This past year has been hell and I could really use some information. Just a little medical background: I'm 35 years old, male, 5'10, 240 lbs, and I get gout attacks from time to time (1-3 times a year) and I'm also flat footed.
It's unlikely that you got extensor tendinitis from a gout attack. It's much more likely that you have it because of your flat feet. The instability of your flat feet cause the tendons to work harder. Consider visiting a podiatrist for medical-grade insoles or custom orthotics. That should help to stabilize your feet and help with the pain.
I had a gout attack and it finished and then a week later the tendons to all my toes made a funny feeling and that stopped. Then yesterday I got a pain further up on my foot , kind of 2/3 the way to the leg and toward the center and outer edge. Today I can hardly walk. I have to walk on my heal with the toe up and it hurts. I have to get my fathers cane and try that because I can't walk. The fool is only very slightly swollen now. If I press in the middle of the foot the pain goes away. I am going to try to put on my runners and jamb something in to put pressure in the middle. I don't have any big bumps like bone spurs on anything like that and I don't exercise. I did no hard work on that foot at all except walk around the house. I sounds similar to what you have and I don't think it was identified , I have watched 3 video's now and you are the first person I see with these symptoms.
I drank about a gallon of water and today the pain is gone from the top of my foot but it spread to the toe area so it is gout. Yesterday I could not put any weight on my right foot and the pain was terrible. Today it is not bad and slowly getting better. Very funny how the pain started and progressed. I had a gout attack about a month ago , then last week we all got the same cold or maybe a flu and I took decongestant pseudoephedrine. It dries you out and the loss of hydration could have triggered this gout.
Interesting. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I awaken with Charlie horses so bad I scream and it pulls my big toe straight back.
I try everything it’s horrible any quick fix?
Any idea why this happens???
Good description but kinda like drowning and describing the water.
So how to we fix this I just have numbness on top no pain
I have inflammation on top of the right foot since an year ,now I feel some kind of vibration in the ankle and back of the leg. I do a lot of trail walks as well.my left foot looks swollen on top starting from bunion area till ankle.i cannot see any veins on this foot in comparison to my right foot which is normal..what can you suggest please?
It may be extensor tendinitis. It may be a stress fracture. Having this amount of pain for as long as you've had it, it's really hard to tell. If you haven't already, make sure to get seen for an x-ray. If that's not conclusive, then an MRI would be helpful.
I have pain on the top of my foot where the laces are, I run a lot, is the pain caused from my shoe?
It could be the shoe. It could be a tendinitis. If your foot hurts in a particular area, try skipping the laces in that area, so they don’t cross over it. That will help relieve the pressure.
Well , my redness, pain and swelling can't be fixed so here is a new one for your buddies.
A tall young man experiences a 6 inch growth in one years time at age 11. Now in high school, football is it. First game, late hit broken ankle. Set and X-Ray show thin bone density and told not to play. A coach says let's teach you to run long distances. Here are your converse tennis shoes and we will go 13 miles on these gravel roads and go to school, oh...let's average a 6 minute mile. Run, repeat, run, repeat. Now 4 years passed and the kid is given a "TEE" shirt that says "7,000 Mile Club". Yeh! Even after 3 events at track meets the kid is given the task of jogging 4 miles out of strange town to a distant water tower on hill and jog back, oh, let's average 6 minute miles. Kid goes to college impressed with his mile state record and 1:56 half mile run. (2 minute 1/2 mile is 20 MPH) Team wins meets that are 5-6 miles long on golf courses. Team wins 1-8 positions before another school comes in. They pick a number to run in the nationals in NJ and win first place. With no money for school, kid works. Work turns into job on concrete all day. 30+ years pass, Dr X-rays with nothing, pushes finger into 20 some spots and hurt like hell. Orders orthotic inserts and shown how to wear. Worn everyday without fail and feet hurt worse to the point they are off for good. Dr is confused and dismissive. 10+ years pass, now only the tops are swollen and red. No issues with ankle and blood flow checked with sonogram. Only the long bones have arthritis and enlarged at each antique stress fractures that total 7 in left foot and 9 in right foot. Swollen, Red skin and when pushed on, turns white at that point, yet quickly (2.5 seconds) turns back to Red, indicating good blood flow as the Dr indicated, plus, there was nothing they could do for a long term fix. Wear loose oversized shoes, leave laces loose and seal with it. Sucks to get old! Have a nice day! ASE Master Tech, retired!
i think i have another problem,so my big finger of the left foot is closer to the ground than other fingers and that makes my foot to don t be flat do you know if that is a problem?
Hard to know from your message. Rule of thumb…if it causes discomfort, get it checked out.
They’re called toes?!
I think I have the tendinitis you mentioned. I am on my feet all day as an O.R. Nurse. We have been short staffed and I have worked up to 14 days in a row for 12 to 14 hours a day. I have spent hundreds of dollars on all types of shoes but to no avail. For a while I was sleeping with ice packs o. My feet but then I realized heat felt so much better. Is that crazy?
Thank you for your service. You are a hard worker and it is much appreciated.👍
The fix will never be supportive shoes or orthotics, it takes foot and ankle strengthening because of the decade of wearing supportive shoes that weaken your feet. Look into xero shoes
Sir my mother is having the problem same like bone spur but there is NO bumb on top of foot
What do i do please reply as soon s you can 😟
I couldn’t tell without seeing her. She should get an X-ray and the doctor should be able to figure it out.
I frequently have top of the foot pain that comes and goes …. It’s very sharp pain on the top… Do you think it’s possible I have a stress fracture ??
Pain from a stress fracture is usually more consistent. But it’s certainly possible. Best is to get an X-ray to rule it out.
@@DrAndrewSchneider thanks man
I have really bad pain, itching inside my foot and numbness after standing an hour I'm not able to use the stairs Like to cut my foot and throw down from my ankle. It happens after my injury. The very heavy object fall on my foot. My 1st symptom is the upper side of my foot changes its color looks green, pink, and purple. The skin comes normally after 2months But the pain inside my foot Is worse day by day what can I do about it.
If you're feeling a deep pain, like itching, inside your foot, it is likely a nerve issue. You may want to visit with a neurologist to test and make sure there are no issues with the nerves.
Sone comfrey leaves and stem wrap around the foot with a paper towel will do better
Thanks. Haven’t heard of that before. Natural remedies can work well.
I don’t have pain but part of the top of my left foot is numb, between my big toe and 2nd toe that goes all the way down and has been like this for a couple days and consistent
I have a burning sensation on top of my foot towards the back near the joint.. i'm hoping it's one of these.. i was worried my kidneys were going bad..
Which foot or both? And did you ever find out if it was kidney related?
I have a problem on the top of my foot
A muscle connected to my big toe hurts whenever i move it, whenever i move it i feel the tendons and my joints move
It isnt a spur since theres no bum on top but it hurts whenever i massage it or move it. I am unable to run and walk properly, it feels like a triggered finger on my big toe
when i feel the pain it feels like the vein is swollen is that normal? when i feel the pain in that moment i cant walk
What you're feeling is the inflammation on the top of your foot causing a throbbing sensation. It may feel like the vein is swollen, but that's unlikely the source of your pain.
Thanks doc 🙏
Mine is the top right side. Could I have pulled a muscle?
More likely to be a tendinitis. Less likely to be a pulled muscle. We don't see much of that in the foot.
I have pain in my feet There is pain on the feet, there is pain inside getting up what is it how will it be
It's hard to say. If you have pain when you're getting up from sitting or lying down, it is likely a soft tissue inflammation. Try ice and anti-inflammatories to see if they help.
I'm 67, and have had longstanding burning pain and irritation (side of innner arch and top of foot) from the medial cuneiform bone and some of the tendons attaching to it, so that I had to quite hiking. I wound up taking a proteolytic enzyme supplement called Repair Gold, on an empty stomach every morning. This supplement, which helps with inflammation and scar tissue, has been a lifesaver for me, so I can return to hiking and running.
Have pain on top of foot from nerve pain can't seem to get a remedy
Be sure to visit a podiatrist or neurologist. There are treatments for nerve pain. You don't have to live with it!
How to pevent bone spurs can onte put wt on foot while going to bathroom
Wear a slipper or house shoe to cushion your feet when you’re headed to the bathroom.
Custom orthotic Bone spur Foot sprain
Thank you Dr Schneider . It’s tendonitis lack of exercise and synovial fluids not circulating >/ painful.
Tendinitis isn't from the lack of exercising...it's starting to exercise too quickly without conditioning first
When you say stop activity, does this mean all forms of exercise including walking? I felt pain on the top of my right foot thursday last week mid 10k run. Stopped running for several days, but i still did my usual weight training, even did leg training like squat, lunges, single leg calf raises, even some plyo on friday. Foot only hurts when i run, not on any other activity. I tried running again last night, a tuesday, but when i felt some pain again on the top of the right foot, i stopped and just went on a 5K walk, frustrated. Just returned to running after 7 yrs. Been running for just 6 weeks.
I really mean to stop all activity where you feel pain. Unless you know there's an injury, like a stress fracture. Then you'll have to stop everything. My guess is you're dealing with a tendonitis and should get it checked out so you can run without pain.
@@DrAndrewSchneider Thanks! I will.
Mine is killing me just now at the whare the leg meets the foot its swollen for some reason and putting it down in the ground its like pressure build up its more an uncomfortable pain than a sore pain but it's hurts like heck haha odd one I know
If I’m hearing you correctly it may be a tendinitis. Try some insoles and anti inflammatory medication. Visit a podiatrist if it doesn’t improve.
It is funny how the brain tries to make up stuff, I wondered if I'd dropped something on top of my foot too. I have very flat feet too. I know what caused it and I need to get it back to normal ASAP.
Give an insole or an orthotic a try. I think you'll find good relief pretty quickly!
Every time I take a long walk, the next day I wake up with a swollen painful left foot.
That shouldn't be the case. You should definitely visit a podiatrist and get an x-ray taken. There are a lot of causes of swelling, but it's important to figure out why it's happening.
any way hears a recipe for lasagna 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound ground beef chuck
1/2 medium onion, diced (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 large bell pepper (green, red, or yellow), diced (about 3/4 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (28-ounce)can good-quality tomato sauce
3 ounces tomato paste (half a 6-ounce can)
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (preferably flat leaf), packed
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 pinch garlic powder and/or garlic salt
1 tablespoon red or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon to 1/4 cup sugar (to taste, optional)
Salt
Start by making the sauce with ground beef, bell peppers, onions, and a combo of tomato sauce, tomato paste, and crushed tomatoes. The three kinds of tomatoes gives the sauce great depth of flavor.
Let this simmer while you boil the noodles and get the cheeses ready. We're using ricotta, shredded mozzarella, and parmesan -- like the mix of tomatoes, this 3-cheese blend gives the lasagna great flavor!
From there, it's just an assembly job. A cup of meat sauce, a layer of noodles, more sauce, followed by a layer of cheese. Repeat until you have three layers and have used up all the ingredients.
1/2 pound dry lasagna noodles (requires 9 lasagna noodles - unbroken)
15 ounces ricotta cheese
1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces) mozzarella cheese, grated or sliced
1/4 pound (4 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese1/2 pound dry lasagna noodles (requires 9 lasagna noodles - unbroken)
15 ounces ricotta cheese
Put pasta water on to boil:
Put a large pot of salted water (1 tablespoon of salt for every 2 quarts of water) on the stovetop on high heat. It can take a while for a large pot of water to come to a boil (this will be your pasta water), so prepare the sauce in the next steps while the water is heating.
Brown the ground beef:
In a large skillet heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it is lightly browned on all sides.
Remove the beef with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Drain off all but a tablespoon of fat.
Cook the bell pepper, onions, and garlic; add back the beef:
Add the diced bell pepper and onions to the skillet (in the photo we are using yellow bell pepper and red onions).
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and the peppers softened. Add the minced garlic and cook half a minute more.
Return the browned ground beef to the pan. Stir to combine, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Make the sauce:
Transfer the beef mixture to a medium-sized (3- to 4-quart) pot. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste to the pot.
Add the parsley, oregano, and Italian seasonings, adjusting the amounts to taste. Sprinkle with garlic powder and/or garlic salt, to taste.
Sprinkle with red or white wine vinegar. Stir in sugar, a tablespoon at a time, tasting after each addition, to taste. (The amount of sugar needed will vary, depending on how acidic the tomatoes are that you are using.)
Add salt to taste, and note that you will later be adding Parmesan, which is salty.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and then lower the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook for 15 to 45 minutes, stirring often. Scrape the bottom of the pot every so often so nothing sticks to the bottom and scorches.
Remove from heat.
Boil and drain the lasagna noodles:
By now the salted water you started heating in step one should be boiling. Add the dry lasagna noodles and cook them to al dente, per package directions. (Note noodles may be cooked in advance.)
Stir often to prevent from sticking. Make sure that water remains at a full rolling boil during the entire cooking to prevent noodles from sticking.
When ready, drain in a colander and rinse with cool water, gently separating any noodles that may be sticking together.
Spread a little olive oil on a large rimmed baking sheet, and lay out the cooked noodles on this sheet, turning them over so that they get coated with a little of the olive oil. This will prevent them from sticking together.
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Assemble the lasagna:
In a 9x13-inch casserole or lasagna dish, ladle a cup of sauce and spread it over the bottom of the dish. Arrange one layer of lasagna noodles lengthwise (about 3 long noodles, the edges may overlap, depending on your pan) over the sauce. Ladle a third of the remaining sauce over the noodles.
Sprinkle a layer of a third of the grated mozzarella on top of the lasagna sauce. Add half of the ricotta cheese, by placing cheese dollops every couple of inches. Sprinkle half the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the ricotta cheese.
Apply the second layer of noodles and top it with half of the remaining sauce. Add half of the remaining mozzarella, the remaining ricotta cheese, and another the remaining Parmesan.
Finish with another layer of noodles. Spread the remaining sauce over the top layer of noodles and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake:
Cover the lasagna pan with aluminum foil, tented slightly so it doesn't touch the noodles or sauce). Bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Uncover in the last 10 minutes if you'd like more of a crusty top or edges.
Cool and serve:
Allow the lasagna to cool for at least 15 before serving. Leftovers will keep for about 5 days. You can reheat it in a conventional oven or microwave. Leave the aluminum tent on for storage. (Try to keep the aluminum foil from touching the sauce.)

For a month I've had front foot pain across the top and front bottom (not the heal at all) plus ankle pain that shoots up to my thighs and hips sometimes. Stiff muscles on the back of the calfs for 2.5 weeks. I did do 3 hours of dancing in high heels at my daughters wedding on a concrete floor before the pain. I had not worn high heels in 3 years and even fell while in them. 8 days after the wedding, while walking, I had the worse pain in my feet and weakness and it never goes away. I evern tried new tennis shoes but that didn't help. I had blood work done and xray of my feet and ankle and so far nothing is showing. The pain only goes away with ibuprofen but then comes right back. I was a 4-5 a day walker of 1-2 miles and now I can't go one block without pain. What do you think it is? Could it be from that night of dancing? Could pain suddenly happen 8 days from that and walking a few miles aggravated something within my feet?
It seems crazy, but it can be from the night of dancing in heels. It could have started an inflammatory process that only became painful a week later. There are stronger anti-inflammatories that you may want to try from your doctor. Over the counter, if you can take them, you may want to try Aleve twice a day consistently for a couple of weeks. Hope you feel better soon!
@DrAndrewSchneider we appreciate your responses. Most docs don't respond. Keep up the good work.
I feel like the top of my foot started hurting after getting orthotics
Me too !
Orthotics are like a permanent crutch. Much better to strengthen, stretch, and wear barefoot shoes to fix the problem.
Every time I where shoes that are to small it makes the top of my foot and big toe hurt really bad do u know what it is
Edit: I have a bone spur it's crazy because I'm only 17
Even at 17 you can have a bone spur. Yes, it seems crazy, but I've seen it happen. Try this lacing pattern to keep the pressure off of the spur: ua-cam.com/video/f41MjcwCacw/v-deo.html
