Painful foot

Yesterday the top of my foot cramped for a bit and then really hurt if i bent my toes (forwards). My brother (medical student) played with it for a bit and said it was probably something to do with the tendon (very useful!) Then I woke up this morning and if I walk or bend my toes the top hurts and kind of creaks (Like when knees sometimes creak.....you can feel it if you put your hand on top and I move my foot). Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with me? I took some painkillers and put some ibuprofen gel on it but it's still not comfortable. I don't know whether to keep it mobile or to keep it still and I'm supposed to be driving to a clarinet lesson soon.Any advice? x

I had this exact problem last year and when I went to the doctors all they said was its probably just a injured tendon and theres nothing they could suggest except take painkillers and try to rest it as much as possible. Took a few weeks before it went off completely but never really understood it as I didn't even remember doing anything. However I do have a very dodgy knee and doctor said it may just occur from walking funny. Sorry this is little help

Yeah I haven't done anything specific it just came on. So is rest the best thing? I'll go for that then...just hope I can manage to drive today. Thanks x
