Pain in the side of foot...

[Deleted User]

Can anyone tell me what this is...

I have a pain in the outside of my left foot. It gets pretty painful the morning after the previous evenings run.

There is no pain when the foot is pressed... and it is only when i walk or run on the foot that the pain is present. Usually by the following evening the pain has subsided ready to begin the cycle again!

Would like to know how serious this injury is, because I seem to be able to train ok with it... Am switching to running laps of my local park in order to minimise impact damage.

Many thanks for any help you can give.

I have a problem like this in the same foot same place. But I have been to a Physio who claimed it was my tendon, but after 2 months of friction rubbing and stretching and going for 10 minute runs only to have an toher week off, I then went to a Podiatrist who says I pronate alot and have put a Arch support in my shoe and when the pain stops then go for a run and if this cures it then I need orthodics because i am crushing a nerve on the outter part of my foot. Tell me if this help??

I had the same problem - I'm flat footed though so bought some new trainers with arch support and guess what....no pain!! Hoorah.

Hope this helps?!
