Does someone have a podiatrist in their family?

[Tyche]

Ok, so quick backstory...A few years ago, I was playing basketball, on asphalt. I had a 250lb dude fall on my ankle going for a loose ball. I slightly fractured one of the bones in my foot, and the doc just gave me an orthopedic shoe. My foot hasn't been right ever since. It hadn't really hurt when I walked onit, or even ran on it. Ever since then, when I cut hard on it, and put immense pressure, it will hurt for a few seconds, then be alright. I run almost everyday during the warmer months, and everything had always been bearable.

Yesterday I ran the first run of the season. Went about four miles. While running, I didn't experience much pain. Seemingly no more than usual. A few hours later however, I had a horrible fucking pain where the black circle is. The red is the initial scarring from the basketball accident. Ever since last night, when I put any pressure on the outer portion of my foot, just before the heel (like where the black circle is, cept on the bottom of the foot, like the outer arch), It's unbearable. I went for a walk in the park today with my kid and dogs. After about 10 steps I was noticeably hobbling as not to put pressure there. I can walk on my tip toes and it doesn't hurt at all. Normal walking is excruciating after a few steps. I begin to hobble to take pressure off. What the fuck is wrong? If it's any help, the shoes I run in are Nike Free 5.0s. Ive always ran in them.

I'm pretty sure pain = go to the fucking doctor.

[Tyche]

Well, it's worth a shot in the dark, maybe someone will say "well, dad said your "x"nerve is located there, and it's just temporary, it'll go away in a few days, you probably just pinched it", then the 2 minutes it took to make this thread was worth saving myself "x" number of dollars. Policy just rolled over, and with that, the $1500 deductible rolled with it.

I would still go to a doctor. Putting off stuff like that makes it just worse which could make it cost more.

Just go to a doctor. Better than what any person will say here. Besides, even if someone did have a relative who knew wtf they were talking about, they would still say that they need to see it with their own eyes.

your foot looks fucking retarded

Was waiting for something like that. Thanks for not disappointing me.

Listen to the people here. Go see a doctor. BG will help with relationship issues, or work problems.. but when it comes to health (you could lose your foot!) then it's another matter.

Vote Democrat.

(sorry, someone had to, and yeah the health care solution probably will still suck, but I feel ya on the deductible Tyche [mine is $5000] - so worthless)

thats a bit strange. you mean with one foot right? lol (if it was with 2 i'd feel stupid, but using 1 foot to pick up a ball is kinda amazing)

Probably cancer. It always get you when you expect it the least.

[Faris]

I had something like that (I think)

Its prolly your muscles/tissues are damaged/torn, you need physiotherapy(sp) see a doctor. Physiotherapy is very very important.
