I am experiencing very painful throbbing in the top of my right foot. The pain comes and goes but is unbearable when it comes. Does anyone know what this might be?

Throbbing pain is usually a sign of a vascular problem, however can be a nerve problem. it's possible you have a blood clot in your legs especially if your older or have varicose veins it's important to have it checked out because if it is a clot it could throw off a smaller piece and end up in your lungs(most probable which is called a pulmonary embolism), heart or brain.

Gout affects the big toe mostly. Sounds like nerve damage. See a Doctor ASAP!

you should definately see a doctor a friend of mine had a similar problem which turned out to be a bone infection and he ultimately had to have his foot amputated. It could definately be much less serious but see a doctor about it especially if the pain is intense when it occurs.

It is possibly an interdigital or Morton's neuroma. This is a painful nerve lesion between the toes due to wearing shoes with a too tight toe box. Make sure your shoes are not crowding your feet.
