The common causes of foot pain are tendonites, ganglion cyst, midtarsal fault, nerve entrapment, stress fracture, or a bone spur. The most common is tendonites. Tendonitis becomes more prevelant as people age, and the tendons lose some of their elasticity. It can also be triggered by trauma to the foot, or excessive exercise.

You could have a tendon injury or a bruise on the bone, but it could be something more serious, like a hairline fracture. This happened to me in college and it was on the top of my foot -- I didn't even know it was broken for months! So, I would go to the doctor and get an xray!
