Occasionally I have felt a sharp stabbing pain in the top/side of my foot. After a few steps, it goes away completely. This has happened very occasionally. Today the foot aches in that same place, but seem like a muscle ache or the pain you d get from a turned ankle.
Hi, I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern. The stabbing pain you feel in the top/side of your foot similar to a turned ankle is due to muscle sprain. Try not to move the ankle for a few days. Observe if it is swollen. Apply cold compresses locally and analgesic cream. Take oral painkillers. If it won't go away in a few days, consult further with orthopedic specialist and run X-ray of the ankle to evaluate the changes further. Wish fast recovery.
