i tripped and fell while running 3 weeks before marathon in october. jammed or hyperextended big toe. doc took X-rays and diagnosed turf toe. gave me NSAIDS and plate for shoe. didn't run for a week but was able to run the marathon with no pain. the pain went away and continued running; was able to do yoga, weights, etc.
fast forward to last week and the big toe pain came back. went back to doc and he took another set of X-rays and then pressed on the plantar plate and i hit the ceiling. it was excruciating. so doc things i either tore or strained my plantar plate and gave me an rx for MRI. he said that if it was torn then into a cast, if sprained, into a boot.
can i continue to run on this thing? will it make it worse?
what's the prognosis of this injury? kind of ticked as it's not even an overuse injury but a trip and fall!!!
bike or swim?
