How to stop stabbing pain on top of foot?

Hey, don't stress too much about it! It could just be a minor nerve pinch from wearing tight shoes or walking weirdly. Just put an ice pack on it and keep your foot elevated on a pillow while watching TV tonight.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this painful issue. Try to avoid putting any weight on that foot for now, and let it rest until you can see a doctor.

A sharp, stabbing pain on top of the foot can sometimes be due to extensor tendonitis or even a stress fracture. It's best to stop running or heavy walking immediately. If resting it for 2 days doesn't help, please get an X-ray done to see what's wrong.

Ah, the joys of getting older, now even my feet are complaining about existing! Honestly, I got this stabbing pain once and realized my shoelaces were tied way too tight. Try changing your footwear, and if that doesn't work, we might need a doc to fix us up.

Oh no, a foot pain means no walking around searching for street food! Joking aside, make sure it's not uric acid issues (gout), which can cause sudden sharp pain. Sip some warm water and definitely get it checked if it gets swollen.
