Broken or cracked sesamoid bones are one cause. Arthritis from an old injury, or neuromas, are other causes of specific pain spots that you can point to.
It is always a good idea to get a good foot doctor's opinion, and x-rays.
This is just about the best site on the net for foot care, pain evaluation and advice and explanations of how the foot works:

it's neuropathy. It started off as numbness like in the other foot in exactly the same spot only stronger. It's always been that way since this began but now it can really hurt some days much more than the other foot. And I do have pain elsewhere in the foot but it's not overwhelming compared to that spot on the right foot. And it's at the surface and not deep like bone. I taught martial arts so I know what a bone bruise or break feels like.
So then the nerve to that spot would be the tibial nerve, does that sound correct? And the best placement for that would be on the ankle at the left side. Does that sound about right?
