Lateral mid-foot pain

Bluemoon86

Hi all,

This past week I have been presenting with some discomfort on the outside of my left foot, about half way down where the foot naturally curves in. I’ve stopped running the last couple of days as a prevenative measure - prior to this it wasn’t stopping me from running, but it was niggling and I can feel it when I walk. 

There is is no indication of any redness, swelling or bruising whatsoever. I’m an experienced runner and this is a new one on me! Any tips would be appreciated!

I had something similar, Im sure I was told at the time it was some sort of tendon issue. sorted itself after a week or two resting

That’s good to know. It just seemed to come from nowhere. 4th day of resting now and I can still feel it walking. Was it the same for you? On the bony part of your foot where it naturally curves in?

Check your peroneal muscle, up the outer side of the lower leg, including just below your knee, as the tendon from that muscle inserts in the areas where you have the pain - it may be the muscle getting tight that's the problem and massaging the muscle will help of that's the case.

Bluemoon86 - how are you getting on with the injury? I think I have the same, not run for 2 weeks now. It does feel better but still too sore to run on
