Subject: RE: metatarsal arch pain....help?? When I first started running about 5 years ago. Had all types of problems with the metarsals. Balls of my feet went numb and felt like the big toe knuckle was on fire (that's what I call it) Upgraded from Asics Cumulus shoes to 2110, (now 2130s) and put in Green Superfeet for support of arches. Had no real problem after that. Couple IMs later, and multiple Marathons. Bought new 2130s (second pair) and used the inserts/soles that come with the model. I know, call me stupid....ON Sunday, felt my arch fall or something like that...and now my left foot is giving me the pain in the metarsals and big toe knuckle. I can walk some but then out of the blue, one step will make my foot feel on fire....and I've got a marathon to run on the 7th of Sept. So lots of ice, rest, and going to the pool for water running. |
