Question
Hi I hurt my foot 6-7 years ago playing soccer. I broke a kids shin pad and played the rest of the game hurt. Ever since then my foot hurts it feels like it needs to be cracked on the top. I had it xrayed. I never got the results. My foot to this day stays swollen and is bigger then my other foot. Is their a way to crack the bone on the top of my foot. I have had it looked at my doctor looked at it a few months ago and told me that I had a high arch. ahe told me to get foot insoles. i just bought them. i have not seen a difference. Thanks.

Dear Sean,

For your foot injury-go see a Board Certified Podiatrist who can x-ray your foot & give you a correct diagnosis & definitive treatment.Orthotics always work better when they are custom made for the specific problem being treated. Sounds like you may have a bone spur on the top of your foot-which may or may not have been related to your soccer injury.
Good Luck!
