Agree! Seek professional assistance ASAP! Respectfully, don’t look for medical assistance here.No idea. If you are already on the trail, I recommend that you go to a farmacia for primary advice, and level up to a doctor if required.
Feet are very complicated mechanically. They can get stress fractures, muscle tears, tendinitis, and on and on…
I had a similar case in my first camino. Our feet grows during long distance walking. Most probably her foot got large and swollen. Stop by at the next shoe store and get a shoe at least 2 size larger than her feet. If this doesn’t help, she should go see a doctor.Hi everyone! My fellow walking partner / pilgrim has a sharp shooting pain down the top of her foot from her big toe to the base of her ankle. When she lifts her foot and bends it, it hurts more. It feels like the whole top surface of her foot is bruised. She has been walking in shoes with little support, any ideas on solutions / what this may be? Thanks so much

I do not want to alarm you, but from a person who fractured her foot, it sounds just like it! I fractured mine while playing soccer, I stepped wrong in a small ditch, and thought nothing of it, walked fine that night, till the next day when I couldn’t even bring my foot down from my bed! I had fractured all the bones across my foot. Very painful and had all those symptoms your friend is feeling!Hi everyone!

yikes that sounds painful what do they recommend for that condition??I started having sharp pain top of foot day before arriving in Santiago. It turned out to be a stress fracture.
Treatment for stress fractures is usually just 6-8 weeks of rest, sometimes with a "boot" to encourage immobility.what do they recommend for that condition??

I got pain on top of my foot some years ago after walking about 300 km. Wass painful every time I lifted my foot. But it was on top of my foot only.Hi everyone!

After we finished that camino we spent a week in Madrid which involved a lot of tourist walking. By the end of that week my foot was pretty swollen and bruised looking. It hurt but wasn't excruciating. I wasn't sure what was going on but as soon as I got home to the States I went to a doctor and they x-rayed and diagnosed the stress fracture. They gave me the option of wearing a boot of some kind but said it would heal with time. I declined the boot and it did get better after a few weeks.yikes that sounds painful what do they recommend for that condition??
I had stress fractures in boot camp. They recommended YOU BETTER KEEP RUNNING YOU SUMBEECH!!yikes that sounds painful what do they recommend for that condition??
There are also different ways to lace shoes/boots to handle various foot problems. Do an internet search for lacing shoes problems.Shoes too tight over the arch of the foot. Loosen your laces.
