ryan_d_sucks 0 #1 February 15, 2007 Holy shit. So yesterday I got out of my car and was walking towards my apartment when I felt a small twinge in my foot. All day it felt weird, and eventually that weird feeling turned into pain. It hurts like hell on the inside of my arch. Its hard to describe, but it only seems to hurt during walking when my toes are the only part on the ground-- as in when they are pushing off to take another stride. It also hurts in the same spot if I invert my foot, like pointing my toes towards my midline while keeping my foot flat on the ground. I haven't found any way to really stretch the spot, because its on the INSIDE of my arch. I've had this before, and it lasted about 10 days. Its fucking terrible, because living on a college campus walking is just about my only means of transportation, and I have to walk all over campus all the time. I run about 15 miles a week, do any of you runners have similar foot problems? I really don't have time right now to go see a doctor, have any of you experienced this and figured out a way to fix it? Could 3 year old running shoes, and non-supportive casual wear shoes be to blame? Damn, I appreciate anyone who's got some advice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryan_d_sucks 0 #4 February 15, 2007 QuoteSounds like it needs to be amputated. Yeah, might not be too horrible. At least after the phantom pain subsided I could get a prosthetic and it would never hurt again. But my girlfriend has a bit of a foot-thing (yes, sexual), and I don't know how she would take to sucking on acryllic, or wooden toes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steveorino 7 #7 February 15, 2007 Sounds a little like Plantar Fasciitus. I had it when I rock climbed a lot. Very hard to get rid of.

BillyVance 35 #8 February 15, 2007 Get a new pair of shoes. Athletic shoes were never meant to be used for more than a year.
