If you are experiencing pain above your foot, it could be due to extensor tendonitis, especially if you have recently started jumping rope. Rest is essential for healing, and applying anti-inflammatory cream can help speed up the recovery process. After about two weeks of rest from jumping rope, you can gradually start jumping again. It is also beneficial to incorporate some running to strengthen your foot structures and reduce repetitive impact. If the pain persists after two weeks of rest, it might be a good idea to consult a physiotherapist.
