Subject: RE: SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAININGUnfortunate distraction question: I have developed a really severe pain in my left foot over the past couple days. It started hurting on Monday and I took a Naproxen which seemed to work, as I felt fine on Tuesday. Tuesday night I ran and had no pain in it, but it started hurting again yesterday. I took another Naproxen last night and when I woke up this morning my foot was hurting much worse than before. It feels similar to the description of gout, except that my big toe is fine and no joints seem to be affected. The pain is throughout the upper part of my foot, excluding my toes. I have no swelling and no redness or discoloration. I cannot put weight on it, and movement and walking are both excruciating. WedMD diagnosed the symtoms as most likely a broken bone in my foot - and I suppose there could be a stress fracture, but there has been no acute trauma or sudden injury. I am hoping to get in to see a podiatrist tomorrow, but does anyone have any thoughts or ideas as to what it might actually be? Has anyone had anything like this before? And most importantly to me right now, any ideas on how to make it bearable? Ice made no difference and elevation seemed to make it worse. Also, FWIW, this is not the same foot I was dealing with heel pain in. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Until then, I will continue to self-medicate by staring at the picture above. edited to correct that I cannot put weight on it. Edited by tdl1972 2012-02-02 7:12 PM
