Pain/discomfort is not normal: mind set of a doctor with seeing a patient with symptoms is: findings of root cause stems from mainly these body parts; metabolic (diet, such as gout), structural ( bone spur, arthritis), vascular (circulation issues), neurologic (nerve issues), environmental ( job/activities ). hope this helps. highly recommend an evaluation with a podiatrist if discomfort persisit.
This question is too vague to answer well. There are many conditions in the foot that can cause that type of pain. Your best decision would be to go to a podiatrist and have your food evaluated. Most problems are treatable but the longer you wait the more likely it is that you may have permanent problems
Could be tendonitis, overuse or many other things. This will progress if left untreated.
If you are diabetic it could be signs of diabetic neuropathy. It could be gout and so many other foot ailments. In general a little history and the exact location of the pain will determine what may be happening. I would encourage you to see a specialist for Evaluation.

Arthritis, neuropathy as well as many other conditions can cause these feelings. You should be evaluated from a foot and ankle physician.
There are a LOT of things that could be causing pain in your feet. If it’s continuing to be a problem, you should probably seek treatment to make sure it doesn’t get worse.
Discomfort can come from a variety of things. I suggest you get evaluated by a podiatrist to figure out the cause(s) of the foot pain/discomfort.
The discomfort you feel on the right foot can be caused by a neuroma, neuritis, soft tissue mass, metatarsalgia, and capsulitis or stress fracture. It may require X-ray and/or MRI for further evaluation.
The cause of your pain could be a number of things. To truly understand the source of your pain I would need to perform a lower extremity physical exam. Please feel free to call the office if you would like to schedule an appointment. Thank you for your question and I apologize for not having a concrete answer but I would require additional information to give you a better understanding of what is going on with your right foot.
Not enough information to even make a guess.
This is far too general a question to be answered Any physician would require much more detail to arrive at a diagnosis here.
It could be inflammation of a tendon or ligament. It could also be stress on joints.
It will be extremely difficult to provide you a credible cause for this pain without more information. When evaluating a patient's complaint, clinicians must assess the nature of the pain (aching, sharp, burning, etc), location (in your case what part of the foot), duration of symptoms etc.
I would need to know more information such as where precisely is the pain located, the type of pain it is, when and how it occurs. These are questions that are needed to help determine the diagnosis.
Could be Sprained or strained ligament
Do x Ray to rule out any fracture.
Use elevation to avoid swelling
Change your foot gear to rule out any fiat feet or unusual mechanics in your gait
We need to do a X-ray to see the bone structures to determine where the pain is coming from and prescription of a NSAID for 1 week like Aleve. If stomach upset is your problem, just a Tylenol for 7 days.
Could be a lot of things. Assuming no injury, you could have a pinched nerve, a tendon strain, joint swelling. You really need to see a podiatrist and possibly need an x-ray.
We would need further exam to know the exact cause of your pain. There are many conditions that can lead to right toe pain. Sometimes, arthritic changes in the first metatarsophalangeal joint can lead to limited range of motion and pain. We would have to evaluate you clinically in order to have a diagnosis and treatment plan.
