What Causes Increasing Left Foot Pain?
In the past couple days, I have had increasing left foot pain, on the TOP of my foot. It seems to be more so on the left half of the top, seeming to radiate up from base of third and fourth toe (???). I am at a complete loss as to what this could be. I have what appears to be some type of nerve pain (?). Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lisa
