For the past couple of weeks I have a soreness which I feel on the sole of the foot 2-3 centimetres behind the 2nd and 3rd tow on my right foot whenever I walk or apply pressure on it. I seem to feel the most pain at some sort of joint within the foot which is aligned with those two toes.
It hurts more the harder the floor or the sole of the shoe I'm wearing and the most when barefoot.
The pain was faint at first and did not really seem to progress but seems to be getting slightly worse everyday after doing some sports last week. It also seems to feel worse in the morning.
I also had to take anti-inflamatories a couple of days for something else (I have Ankylosing spondilytis but I'm sure that is not where the problem lies) but it didn't seem to improve my foot problem at all.
There is no visible mark, or swelling. And even touching the area I'm not even absolutely certain that I can feel a swelling.
I'm not exactly sure when I felt the pain first (because it was very faint) but I think it was right after going paintballing with a couple of friends and I noticed a few brownish marks on the sole of the foot which were gone the next day.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, your foot condition is quite complex. I can not give a definitive answer without a physical examination. I would advise you to visit a chiropodist for an examination. It may be a mortons neuroma, you may need some insoles to control your foot movement and redistribute pressure away from the area. You may wish to consider icing the area to reduce the pain.
