Lower Back and Top of the Foot Pain

supersonic16

Hi

I started to get lower back pain a few weeks ago and it has now spread to my foot. The pain is too sore to run with. I am currently resting (1wks) from running but it is not improving. I was wondering if anyone has had this before?

I have been see a couple of Physio but with no luck.

I had Boston Marathon and don't what to lose out on too much training.

Thanks

Can I ask, 
is this a one sided foot problem?
how would you describe your foot strike
what shoes are you wearing 
how would you describe your arch profile
is this your 1st pain, any previous injuries.
do you have a good flexibility routine 
have you been running a long time 
sudden increase in mileage?

I have started to occasionally feel pain on the top of my foot. But my main problem is that my feet go numb after 3 miles. The physio suspects chronic compartment syndrome, and the doc thinks it's a pinched nerve in my lower back. My lower back does feel weak, so I'm skipping ParkRun today and will focus on core and back strengthening yoga instead. Maybe that'll help you too?
