I'm an individual that over the last year has lost 30 pounds. Has been slowly trying to increase my activity level so that I can continue my road to better health. I'm within 10 pounds of my target weight. I'm middle aged but my brain keeps telling me I'm still a younger jock.

Hence the foot injury while trying to do my first round of Sprint 8 on my elliptical trainer. It didn't really hurt so bad that first evening, but two days later I was at the doctor in a lot of pain. I was told that I had injured my foot during my exercise (which I already knew), but that I had caused a ganglion on the top of my foot.

I've been prescribed anti inflammatory Voltaren. I guess my question is, did the cyst cause the muscle tearing during the injury? And how long sould I wait for rehablitative type stretching and exercise?

Any info is appreciated.
