I have developed a pain on the bottom of my foot that hurts when I am walk on it.
Using this picture as a guide it would be the 2nd circle from the left;
It hurts quite bad to put pressure on it with my finger. I have to walk on the inside of my foot for it not to hurt. Hurts to hop on it.
No pain on the top..
Hurts really bad in the morning.
No pain on the top of foot.
Any ideas? Can't go to see anyone this weekend so thought I would get some opinions here.
If you're a forefoot runner it could definitely be a stress fracture. Otherwise it's less likely.
Don't think I am particularly a forefoot runner.
See a podiatrist; it's probably a bad case of metatarsalgia. Stress fractures usually hurt on the top of the foot. While it's possible to get a stress fracture at the metatarsal head, it's pretty rare. A good podiatrist will probably work some magic with moleskin and take some pressure off the area. Custom orthotics are also an option.
Could be a morton's neuroma? reserach it...
Put a pad under that spot for walking and running, and RICE. It shouldn't be anything too bad.

Great advice. Before you start to panic and self-diagnose, see a specialist and get an x-ray. I had pain in my foot (tarsus) all summer. Thinking I had a stress fracture, went to my primary for an x-ray. He sees a fracture, sends me to sports podiatrist. She does 2nd x-ray, says no fracture, does MRI, sees light ligament tearing, 6 weeks off & new orthotics. Good as new. Take action. Go to a true running/athletic sports medicine facility. Get a second opinion if need be.
