All spring & summer I have been rehabing Plantar faciaits - heel spur & Morton's neuroma & now , just walking to the mailbox something ripped in my foot!
It created black & blue marks on the right side of my foot from my big toe at the floor line all the way to my ankle and they up to my ankle bone. I iced it right a way . WOW it hurt !
Any ideas? Short course starts for me Oct 4th.
Nasty but true, you need to lay off wearing "flip flops" and other shoes that do not support your arch. As for a "cure" I'm betting 6 week recovery time, sorry. (You did talk to your local podiatrist, right?)
Hi! You need to see a podiatrist. Your injuries should not cause a tear like what you said. Did you fall when you walked to the mailbox? It is possible when people receive cortisone injections for things like plantar f. that it can weaken tendons and make ruptures more likely. With Morton's neuroma you should be feeling pain by the 3rd or 4th metatarsal (think like your 3rd or 4th toes) which is not close to your big toe. I am assuming this is your left foot since you mentioned your big toe being on the right side. Go see a doctor. I hope you feel better soon!
Could be a sprain in a small bone or something odd and not good like that. Go see a doctor. My team mates and I were just talking about this yesterday. Don't let it get bad because then you could be looking at 2 surgeries like me for not getting it checked out.
Hi! You need to go see a podiatrist. Did you fall or anything when you were going to the mailbox? I am assuming this is your left foot since you mentioned the right side having the big toe. Morton's neuroma pain is located in the 3rd or 4th metatarsal (think the 3rd or 4th toe) but that is not where you are having problems. Sometimes if you receive cortisone injections for things such as plantar f. it can weaken the tendons and make ruptures more likely. It is best to see a doctor now and avoid it getting worse. What the person said about flip flops are true. They are not good for support at all. Go see a doctor. Good luck with your recovery and next meet!
I think it sounds like you ripped or tore your plantar fascia (the tendenous surface on the bottom of your foot that attaches to to gastrocnemius and soleus. This is similar to a torn hamstring but on a smaller scale, probably more difficult to heal since your foot is below your heart.
Good luck and I hope I'm wrong.
To the Doc this morning. His reply is that I pulled a muscle/tendon that was tightening up from the orthotics pushing my arch up. Ice it & take it easy on the walls.
