Waldo Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I can run a finger across the balls of my left foot, and feel there is a dint or depression between each ball. On my right foot, it is just flat, and there is some swelling or puffiness between each ball. This has appeared in the last month or so, I have been running a lot (maybe just over 100 miles a month, for last 2 months). Any advice, what could it be?

jemson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Rest and ice! If symptoms persist, then see a physio. Also make sure that your shoes are not worn out; you usually get about 500 miles from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Could be Planta Faciatis... (*Spelling)... I have had this after running 30 miles a week - often caused by imbalance in gait. Best to get some professional advice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldo Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks Jemson. Not sure if it was the increase in weekly distance, or worn out shoes. I took it easy for a week, got some new shoes, did 3 runs in them, and it's flared up again. Feels like a lump or swollen area between the balls of my foot (near toes). Probably, I increased my running distance too fast. Rest and ice sounds like a plan. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
