Unknown Foot Pain

[toddchaney]

Hello, my name is Jenkins. I am 22 years old and i am very active. I've been weight training for about 4 years, 3-5 times a week. I used to run around 3 miles 4 - 5 days a week for the past 5 months but i recently increased my distance to 4 to 5 miles 4 - 5 days a week in the middle of June.

Two days ago, i went out for a 5 mile run at 8:30am in the morning and i rested at home for the remainder of the day. At 6pm, i got up from my chair i suddenly felt pain on my left foot on the top left side (fifth metatarsal i think). It only hurts when i walk or run and i am currently limping. It does not hurt when i bike. It isn't swollen and it doesn't hurt when i touch it. This has never happened to me before and i have never twisted or harmed my foot in any way during the runs or anything outside of my runs.

Some advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,
It seems you have tendinitis in that area due to excessive exercise and my suggestion is to use RIC technique ( Rest, Ice, Compress) and don't do exercise or at lest running for 10 days.
Hope get well soon.
