Hi folk,
I was out for my long-slow-deliberate run yesterday morning and towards the end of the run I had a sudden sharp pain in the medial portion of the arch of my right foot. A sharp, stabbing pain. It abated enough for me to run the 1 mi home, but its persistent, and the area where the pain occurred is sore to the touch. Its in the 14% region of figure C… its not plantar fasciitis—I’ve had that before on the other foot and it feels very different.
Ha, I was getting ready to type the exact same thing.
For the OP, it’s actually pretty easy to treat/rehab. When I had it, I placed a one inch thick book on the floor, put only my big toe up on it (with the other toes still on the floor, and leaned forward a little to create a mild stretch of that tendon. I would hold for 10-15 seconds and repeat several times. Within two weeks (probably less), it was a huge improvement
