Why Does the Top of My Foot Hurt? Amy Marturana Winderl

What is that pain on the top of your foot?
That s not an easy question to answer, given how surprisingly complex your feet are. Each one is made up of 26 bones, 30 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. That can make it hard to pinpoint exactly what s causing pain in your foot.
Pain in the top of the foot could be a sign of a handful of different issues, all of which are more or less likely depending on your age, level of activity, and other key features. For example, if you re young and very active, foot pain is probably more likely to be a sign of a stress fracture or tendonitis. If you re middle-aged or older and maybe not training for 10Ks, there s probably more of a chance your pain is coming from a health condition like arthritis.

Joyce Brodsky was always more of a sunbather than a swimmer.
But after COVID-19 began spreading, sitting in chairs by her condominium pool was no longer allowed, and the only place to catch the sun was in the deep end.

Working from couches, dining tables and kitchen counters is taking a toll on people’s bodies. People are also getting injured when they start new exercise routines because their regular gyms closed, or they no longer want to go to them. And that’s to say nothing of the physical therapy some COVID-19 patients require after they recover.Stefan Amer
