Help! To refer about a pain, how can I say? - I'm with a pain on my foot or I'm with a pain in my foot Both are wrong? Please, could someone explain it for me and give me some more exemples? Thank you so much.

Ines and Moon have good answers. I will add a little extra. "Pain" is best used as a noun. Pain is always IN the body, rarely or never ON the body. Other ways to express: My foot is in pain. I have some foot pain. There is a pain IN my foot (not ON my foot as Moon said).

You don't use 'I'm with', instead use 'I have' I have a pain on my foot. I have a foot ache Like Ines wrote, 'my foot aches' or 'my foot hurts' can be used as well.
