Pulsing foot pain?

My husband and I were sitting on the couch and his foot just randomly started hurting so bad he curls up. It comes in phases and he says its a sharp stinging pain under the skin. It's at the top of his foot about an inch below the crevice between his pinkie and ring toe. I thought he got bit by something but he says it's under the skin and it is a little puffy where the pain is. My first thought was a blood clot but I really don't know much about that to go and make assumptions. The pain goes away and if I bend the outer corner of his foot or push on the spot it will be a little sore like a bruise but then about every 5 minutes he cringes from a wave of pain again. We don't have health insurance so a doctor visit is really out of the question.

Could be a neuroma (nerve tumor). Nothing that a little cortisone won't help. Need to see a podiatrist to be certain.

He's having excruciating pain every five minutes and his foot is sore to the touch but a doctors visit is out of the question. My, my! Is a new dress or pair of shoes or a meal out at a restaurant out of the question? Guess it depends on your priorities. To me my health comes first, at any cost. All else is secondary.
