I have the most annoying ache/pain on the bottom outside of my left foot. It started last week, I took 3 days off, thought it was feeling better, went running on Friday, and it's back. It hurts when I walk, and even sort of hurts when I'm just sitting down. Don't think it's a stress fracture. Anyone else ever have anything like this?
Thanks!

Strangely enough it's easier when I'm wearing heels than flat shoes.

I ran this morning, and it is definitely worse when I change direction.
Anyone out there who can help?
I'm getting worried about the FLM, too! What did your osteopath say? Is there anything we can do about this tendon thing? The more I play with my foot, the more it feels like it might actually be a tendon problem. Is there ANYTHING we can do besides rest?
I think mine is due to strain in the medial plantar fascia (probably wrong spelling). Seems to feel better when I keep my foot mobile and stretched. Actually seems okay whilst running but walking in anything other than my running shoes is pretty painful.
Finally got to see a physio, and he thinks I have a bone out of place in the cuboid joint in my foot. I have pretty loose tendons, which he said can sometimes lead to this kind of problem. Sounds quite drastic, but it's really not.
What he did on Friday was just kind of squeeze it and knead it and put pressure on it in different spots from different directions to try to get my bone back where it should be. It isn't 100%, but it's MUCH better than it was! I ran Saturday with a little pain after 3 miles, Sunday with no pain until about 5 miles, yesterday with no pain until about 5 miles, and today i ran about 6 miles with almost no pain at all. (And when it did hurt, I could run through it, though it was quite painful when I stopped.) I'm going back to him on Wednesday, since it still starts to bug me after a few miles, but as of now, I think he might be the greatest man in England. Sooo... maybe if you can get an appointment (or even just a phone call) too your physio, you could ask if he thinks you might need "a restructuring of the cuboid joint" in your foot.
Anyway, good luck!!

He says I'll be back running in 2 weeks so will keep you posted...........Iain.
Book an appointment with your doctor and by the time you get there your foot will be better. That's what happened to me!!
Hope all your poorly feet are getting better.
