Hi people,

This post may seem fairly long however I just wanting to explain exactly what’s happened and where I am at the moment, after visiting my doctor twice lately and nothing been done I’m not really sure what to do next.

The injury happened three months ago while I was playing football indoor, another player went to kick the ball at the same time as I did and before I could get to the ball he made full on contact with the top of my right foot (as I was in the striking motion also). Since then I’ve discovered that this injury could have been made worse due to having football cleats on which don’t suit the shape of my foot (leaving the area which has been injury overly exposed). I’ve attached an image of the cleats on my foot below and how they were tight on the lace section (image was taken before the injury occurred) I think I have a high profile foot?



I went for an X-Ray the day after the injury (as it was hurting so much) and there was nothing seen in terms of breaks or sprains. It’s been three months now and all I’ve been doing is resting the foot (no sports) it seems every time I wear anything other than running trainers the pain comes back, for example if I wear flat shoes which don’t fully support the area which is in pain, at the end of the day/night its really hurting again (almost back to stage one). All the supports I’ve tried just seem to make it hurt more than without one on (as I think it’s putting too much pressure on the injury). I tried to have a run around a week ago and the foot just feels so weak and fragile, I managed to complete the run ok but it just doesn’t feel right at all.

There wasn’t a huge amount of swelling or bruising after the injury so I’m totally baffled as to what’s up with it. I’ve added some pictures below of both of my feet along with an image of where the pain is occurring. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks
