Hey, please help. I used to jog alot with the wrong type of shoes and after a while of jogging, during the night i would get up and walk and my right foot would really hurt. But i ignored it.

Later my right foot hurt bad during the run or just after and i started to worry.

I stopped jogging for about 10 weeks, got shoes MEANT for running, and started again. It took 2 days! for the pain to come back, and after my jog it stayed with me for the rest of the day, sometimes barley able to walk!

I got orthodics because the foot specilist thought that might help but nothing! the pain is stil there and its pissen the **** outa me! Anyone know of what it is or how it could be fixed? (im 14 btw). And it dont have to be jogging for it to go off, i can be doing any type of sport that involves running.

I have attached a picture, the larger the red dot is, the more pain there is. Its not the arc of my foot, its the bone or something in it, and cracking my foot doesn't help.

Please, its really realy really bugging me...thank you. I'm really desperate.

Hmmmmm this is wierd actually I have had foot pain but not where you describe. Are your running shoes tight at all or do your toes hit the end? You might want to try icing straight after a run for the first hour and see how that goes it might be anything ever injured this foot?
 
My running shoes are an average tightness i guess. No my toes dont, prob about 1' 1/2 inches from the end.

I dont think i have ever injured it. Like maybe i could have sprained it before..that could have done something...maybe ive fractured something?

And what do you mean by ice it for an hour?
 
Well I doubt that you have fractured a toe. (damn that hurts) you may have stressed some ligaments in your foot by overrunning. And when i say ice your foot put ice on it for a good half hour after you finish. Other than that I dunno is it where your toe meets the rest of your foot?
 
Yeh and up abit further, sometimes (liek today) that pain results in a pain on my right outer thigh, like near where my leg joins the rest of my body.

Damn im pissed about it, i love running, and i wanna do it, but this bloody stupod thing is preventing me!

Click to expand...

never ice anything for that long. it will lengthen the healing process if you put it on for that long. i read somewhere that vasoconstruction start at around 5 - 10 minutes.. that means that there goes too little blood to the foot (or wherever you put the ice) that is not what the ice was meant to do. ice was meant to take away some of the inflamation and the pain. thus it is better to ice for 5 - 10 minutes.. then take it off for about 5 minutes or so and put it back on for 5 - 10 minutes. what i usually do is i put on ice and after the ice i put on heat. both work as far as i know.

as far as the pain goes.. it could be a number of things.. it could be the ligaments, it could be a tendon, it could also be the periost around the bone that can get irritated. i'd let a physio check it out for you
 
Oh really ok. Well im just saying that because when I tore my medial and cruciate ligaments ending my season for hawkes bay united my physio told me that the healing actually goes faster when you levae it on for a good half hour then leave for a half hour because it takes that long for your body to react and produce the white blood cells and striated tissue that needs to grow for repair. Just two opinions I suppose.
 
I'm with physio dude, the main purpose of icing is to reduce inflamation. Initially this is accomplished by the ice and pressure constricting the blood vessels and thus reducing swelling. Somewhere around 12-17 mins, (different for everyone) , your body will decide that area of your body is too cold and force blood down there to warm it up, dilating the blood vessels, increasing inflamation.
 
as much as i hate to say this...cause it sucks. My girlfriends sister has a similar problem and the only way that they were able to solve it...aside from surgery, was to stick a giant frickin' needle in there to relief the pressure and replace some fluids.

to be completely honest....that scares the **** outta me :D

i hope this isn't the case and maybe you need to go see a specialist...or if you'vee done that already, maybe see another one....a different one
