Pain in my little toes suddenly appeared
Hi
Thought I'd let you know what happened at doc's
He said it probably isn't arthritis but he hasn't ruled it out. To be honest he looked quite puzzled about it which wasn't reassuring! - told me to use some anti-inflammatory gel and if the symptoms persist he'll refer me to a foot specialist
The good news is though that I ran 3m on it yesterday without as much as a twitch, but it's still there slightly when I walk, maybe the gel has had some good effect.
I believe my trainers might be at fault - i didn't buy trainers which were designed for my foot - I've decided to purchase some from 'up-and-running' in Manchester but I need my injury to have completely cleared up before they test me on their running machine.
This leaves me in a dilemma about what I do now though (got a 6m in Liverpool this Sunday), if the trainers are to blame I'm wary about running in them. They have air cushioning in them and are running shoes but slightly too tight on the foot that hurt, I noticed this more when I last ran , they seemed comfortable before the injury and there's no swelling? I must admit though when I first bought these trainers I thought they were a little on the small side but because they didn't bother me continued to run in them - how daft am I?
The doc didn't ask me about my running shoes (which I thought was odd) but asked me if I'd worn anything new, which I had, a pair of shoes I hadn't worn in a while, but I think the trainers were to blame causing a gradual injury and my shoes were the final straw
Any more thoughts welcome
