Down and out? Feels like a bruise on the bottom of my left foot--under the 3rd and 4th metatarsals... Had it to some degree since the 13th.

What does this mean? Are you able to run at all? Does it even hurt to walk on? Maybe you need some custom orthotics. I used to get that same pain and it hurt to walk on. I saw a podiatrist and he made me some orthotics and I haven't had the pain since.

Hey Dale! I can run on it still--it's just not comfortable. Rather than risk a more serious injury, I've opted to take a week or so off. I don't think I need orthotics.

Probably Metatarsalgia or Morton's Neuroma...

Dang!!!
How is it feeling today?
Have you tried any metatarsal raise pads or lifts?
I'm sure you have read all the articles that I have (I just looked it up).

So sorry to hear about that! My son, a podiatrist in training, said the same thing as Teena on the metatarsal raise pads or lifts, the least invasive treatment.
Hope your feet get better soon!

How are you feeling now? I hope you are close to feeling better.

I haven't run since Jan 25--the doc told me to lay off the running until at least Friday to see if the pain subsides. I almost feel like a pansy because the pain wasn't bad--just a dull, incessant ache. So we'll see how things go. The foot is feeling better though. If, when I start running again, it flares up again, I'm off to a podiatrist: cortisone shots or a neuroma-ectomy. Or maybe I could just suck it up.

Glad the foot is feeling better. A good podiatrist will explore all the options before taking cutting the foot.
You are being such a good boy to lay off running per doctor's order...not pansy at all. Here's hoping the best!

I Hope you foot is feeling swell again.

How's the foot? Thought about you as I ran in AF today!

Smooth: Funny you would ask just as I walked in the door after running 4.9 miles. I don't know that my time off did much, but my run today didn't hurt either. I don't know what's up.

No pain on the run is good news!!! Hope it continues to get better.
Do you think it's from the shoes? I heard narrow or tight toe box aggravate it. Have a great weekend! :)

Yes--I think that my be a big part of it. I've been wearing a "newer" pair of old penny loafers because my comfortable pair need the heels replaced. They're both narrow and have absolutely no cushioning.
