Hello all,
Recently I was evaluated by my podiatrist and he told me that the pain in my right big toe is was caused by a small fracture in the sesamoid bone. He made me a custom insole (will arrive in about 2 weeks), he order me to rest and not to run for about a month until the fracture heal itself and the orthotics arrive. Si, Ive swimming and on the gym most of the time.
I've was training for a local half im and 3 weeks before the race I have to stop training because of the pain. My training most of the year was for shorter races.
I've been thinking what might have caused this fracture, and the only change I did this year is that I've training and racing in flats (Saucony Type A2). Do you guys think the almost no cushion on that shoes might caused this injury?
Thanks!
Carlos
