The outside of my left foot is very painful. I can't wear my shoes and if I wear them for too long, after about 10 minutes it hurts so bad. What can it possibly be? I never had this problem till about two weeks ago.

Thank you for contacting us. IPFH does not diagnose conditions or recommend treatments on line. We would suggest that you consult your primary care physician or a foot health professional. He or she can diagnose the issue and then treat it appropriately. We recommend that you do this at your earliest opportunity, since you describe the pain as severe. You can also get an idea of what might be causing the pain by using our foot pain self-assessment tool. However, please know that this tool is not meant for diagnosing conditions, and is not a substitute for a visit to a medical professional. We hope you will consult a physician soon, and that your pain will very quickly be a thing of the past.
