Knee Pain from Feet


I injured the top part (dorsal) of my foot about a month back from playing bball on a slippery, dusty floor (yes stupid, indeed). Now, there’s pain on a part of my foot only when I abduct my pinky toe (move it to the outside) and lay my foot flat on the floor. It’s not a big deal except that now my knee is cracking much more often and I feel tightness in my VMO area and afraid it may be on precursor to patellofemoral pain (no jinks*, knock on wood**). Any ideas and practices I can try out will be tons of help and appreciated. thanks

PS - that red area is where the pain is
