Default Foot Pain

I have a problem with my right foot. My ankle is swollen and the top of my foot is very tender and painful.....especially when I walk or bend it up, down or side to side.

I had an x-ray taken to establish that there isn't a hairline fracture. There isn't.

The doctor said that it possibly could be from spasticity. I get such bad spasms in my legs that it could be a possibility.

It's been a week now and it's not getting any better. First thing in the morning is terrible. After resting it for a few hours it's nearly impossible to walk.

I've gotten a foot brace sock thingy made for Plantar Fasciatis (sp?) and it helps but the doctor said he didn't think it was Plantar's related.

Has anyone else dealt with this type of thing? What did it turn out to be?

I have a prescription for Tramadol but the Advil seems to work better. I do take Mirapex for RLS. And I have a prescription for Baclofen but I don't take it on a regular basis. If I take Mirapex and Advil or Tramadol PLUS the Baclofen I may as well just stay in bed all day......between making me sleepy and off-balance (even more so than usual) it's dangerous for me to be up and around.

My left leg is my weakest so this is really compromising my ability to get around because this is my right foot.....so now I have no "good side".
