So can it hit anywhere on your foot or just your toes?
Did you change your footwear or do something that could cause tightness in your calf muscle? This can create tension in the tendons in the side of your foot and cause pain.
This happened to me and was due to wearing and walking in flip flops whilst on holiday.
