Subject: nueroma/tendon/muscle problem


I have some type of soft tissue injury in the ball of foot that alos
invloves my 2nd and 3rd toe. I went to see a podiatrist yesterday. The jury
is out on whether it's a nerve problem or a a muscle and or tendon problem.
She says I don't have a stree fracture based on xrays as this has been going
on for 2 months and it would be visible by now.

I guess that's good news. She gave me a cortisone shot put a metatarsal pad
my orthotic and ordered 0 running for 3 weeks.
That's the bad. What's puzzling to me is that she said I can swim or bike
but not use an elliptical machine. That's about all we have at work except
for treadmills. I don't see the problem as long as I keep my feet flat and
don't flex at the ball of my foot.
I have a ski machine at home but I assume she would ban me from that also.

Guess I'll try it and see if it aggravates it, maybe have someone check me
to see if I'm not keeping my foot flat?

She seemed more concerned about flexing of the forefoot and pushing off

from the toes. I asked about walking and she said, "Do what you need to
do but not as exercise."

Well there's always pool jogging...what fun!

Actually it first seemed to occurr on the Indian Ladder Trail, damn
rocks!
And it came back to stay for good after the next weekend after the 15k
on the same damn rocky trails (and x-treme downhills)!

Not positive as she's not sure if it's a nerve problem. An X-Ray
revealed that the bones of my second and third toes look much closer
together than normal which would explain aggravation of the nerve.

Looks like I might be back to brewing sooner than expected.

It's still weight bearing.

Most likely, for the same reason as the elliptical machine .

Sounds like your best bet is the bike but make sure you stay in the
saddle, i.e., no standing to pedal.

Food for thought, do you think your penchant for frequent racing might
be coming to haunt you?

You're focusing on fixing the problem which is important but do you or
she have any suspicions as to the cause?
