Theres so much going on within feet and hands.
Heres a few pics of a foot in various states of undress..
The wide band of the Cruciate Crural ligament could be the "raised bone" your feeling. This holds the tendons inplace over the top of the foot/ankle joint.Ligaments/connective tisue are shown in white
Nerves are thin yellow lines
Veins are thin blue lines
Arteries are thin red linesHopefully those are a help in pinpointing what you've brused or aggravated

I've got a slight soreness in the top of my foot and have just been googling foot anatomy to try and describe it.
The pain is located on the instep in the area around the medial cuneiform bone, or where the tibialis anterior tendon seems to run over the top of it. On my feet this area seems to have a slightly raised bone which doesn't seem to appear on many of the anatomy diagrams.
For me it feels like I have bruised it (possibly by having my new spikes too tight in Sunday's XC) but this isn't the first time it's been sore so I wonder if other shoes also aggravate it?
Anyone else suffer from this? Any suggestions? I was wondering about trying some funky lacing on my spikes if it persists.
