I've been dealing with pain on the top of my right foot on and off for a few months. It just flared up again a couple of days ago after being fine for weeks. Made it through a run this morning but now it's hurting to walk. The pain is in the middle of my foot and right at the base of my ankle; there are actually two spots that are tender to touch. Could this be a bad bout of tendinitis? flexing my foot down is fine but flexing my foot back toward my shin causes some pain. Pain is worst when I'm rising up/putting pressure on the ball of my foot.
