Hi All,
Long story short: I've been using Newtons for the past year, PR'ed 3:29 in October at the MCM. Some small discomfort at the 2nd metatarsal, nothing too serious. Went hiking one day, pain started to get worse days after it, until could not run anymore on early Jan. Was diagnosed with MTP Synovitis (Capsulitis), which is synovitis on the joint where the metatarsal meets the 2nd toe. Dr prescribed Diclofenac, took it for 2 weeks, got a bit better, had stop it due to stomach issues. Will see Dr. on Monday to see what to do next. Haven't run for 6 weeks, still some pain when walking and when poking from the plantar face of the foot.
1) Have you had this before? at some point I thought it was Morton's neuroma, but Dr. said no. What was your treatment?
2) I want to try a different shoe once I'm cleared to run again...Which shoe would you recommend?
Thanks,
T
