My foot is sore from the edge to the middle of the front of the foot.

Technically it is the metatarsal and proximal phalange region on the exterior of the right foot. The sensation is of a tightening of the tissue, perhaps the peroneus brevis tendon is involved. THere is no sense of warmth. It hurts to walk, and in fact the knee and pelvis seem slightly involved, such that the foot splays out to the right, and it takes an effort to turn my toes toward the front, which also increases the pain. It is not the joint between the metatarsal and proximal phalange...it is the tissue in that area that is painful.

There is a sense of strain or swelling and a tendency toward cramping in my adductor muscle in the back of my thigh. If I leave my leg partially bent in one angle for a period of a few minutes it starts to ache. This necessitates the constant repositioning of my foot and leg.
