Question from a bike rider with a sore foot

[Campyrider]

I am an active race bike rider (>10.000km/year) and last year in September I suffered a "bone bruise" in my left food (metatarsals) after an increase in training and a 5 hour hilly bike ride under warm conditions. I could not walk the following day. After two weeks of recovery (but almost no improvement) I was x-rayed and also had a scan. Showed no fracture. I stopped riding for a few weeks but the recovery was very, very slow. 3 month after there was a slight improvement (winter pause) but now after a full season things are bad again. I have adjusted the bike and are now using special insoles (Formthotics) which helps a lot. But what more can I do? I can't stand weeks without biking (I get crazy!) and it seems like the bruise has turned permanent.

Any clues / experience?

Thank you in advance - "The desperate rider ;(
