Pain on top of the Foot

You could also be sore. As in, you did a good workout.

 

I would first suggest he see an anatomy diagram.

The foot bone is most definitely not connected to the thigh bone.

 

Have you just recently started your exercise program after a long time (years) without exercising?

When I work out (such as on a bicycle) when out-of-shape, I get an extremely painful, almost debilitating burning in my thighs the next day. This is due to a buildup of lactic acid, which is what the muscles use when they run out of oxygen.

The solution is to start off with a milder exercise regimen and work your way up as your body adapts.

 

You know, this could be the source of his pain.

"Doctor: there's this pain in my thigh, right above my foot."

"Hm. Let me see. Ah, there's the problem. You seem to be missing your ankle, shin and knee. Looks like a shark bite. That's gotta smart. Well, stay off it, drink plenty of liquids and call me next week if it doesn't clear up. Pip pip cheerio."

 

michael12, you should see a podiatrist.

 

Did you try taking the needle out?

 

You may just be sore. If you happen to work out regularly and it happens every time you squat, you may want to see a doctor about it. You may have slightly pulled a muscle.

If nothing else, try taking it easy the next time you work out your legs. Do some leg extensions instead of squats for instance.
