Strain in top of right foot. Solution?

[Paz]

I'm not really sure if this has to do with my golf swing or if my foot just randomly started hurting, but every time through impact as my right foot lifts off the ground (right handed golfer) I get this terrible strain in the top of my right foot, closer to the toes than the ankle. Has anyone experienced this before? Am I doing something wrong with that right foot?

Another place I'm having pain is on my right pinky finger (where I interlock with the left index). Right above where the fingers meet the palm is touching the grip and that's where I have a monster callus as well as some pain through impact on that spot. Almost like it's bruised. It probably is. Maybe it just needs to toughen up. The overlap grip isn't painful at all but my hands aren't nearly big enough to use that grip.

I know this is a long shot but I thought I'd check to see if anyone of you knew what was going on.

The foot just started hurting a couple days ago.

I was getting that with my left foot. Try to loosen the middle laces on your shoe, or get ones that are bigger through that part of your foot. The offending shoes for me were Keens - super comfortable and roomy in the toebox, but too small through the laces.

It's a really common hockey "injury". Loosen your skates . . . er . . .

I often take full swings without my shoes on. If I see something I want to work on (on the forum or what have you) i'll try it out right then and there.

I don't see how shoes on or off could make a difference though.

Perhaps I swung WAY too hard and tweaked it a little. I don't recall doing it, however.

What do you do for a living - I mean, do you sit at a desk? It could simply be an ergonomics or fitness issue. That was another issue for my feet, ankles, and achilles tendons.

Nope, I stand 90% of the time. This hasn't happened before and is bearable to play with, I just wanted to see if it was a common issue with those who swing too hard. I'm sure it'll subside. I just hope it isn't a product of my golf swing. Thanks for the help sean

Sometimes pain can be attributed to something as simple as Dehydration. Are you drinking plenty of water when on the course? I don't know if this is your particular issue, but cramping and other aches on the course have effected me due to that.
