Cuboid syndrome?

[alophysio]

Hi - if i were to guess - and i am only guessing - you were sitting on the hill with your foot tucked under a bit - like pointing your toes and pointed in - corss legged sitting, sitting in "mermaid pos" or your feet tucked to one side etc. If not, then i am not sure but twisting your foot like that for a while can cause "creep" in the tissues which stretches them too far and then you can get issues.

You should really be seeing someone about it. Like we said - it would only be once or twice. What is the price of 2 sessions of physio compared to missing out on regionals?

Yes, that was how I was sitting. In regard to the injury, however, I have seen a dramatic change (for the best) in the past 24 hours. I had my dad do some of the manipulations on my foot; I can't say for sure whether or not that is what helped, but either way I can walk comfortably now, and feel only a very slight, dull remnant of pain. I will continue to tape, rest, etc, but otherwise it seems well on its way to being over. Thanks for all the advice!

Hi again, t. delacour.

I'm extremely pleased to hear that you've had a good improvement the last 24 hours! Maybe you're dad got unknown physio-talents! If it wouldn't be too much to ask, would you mind giving us a small report on how you feel in about 12 days time? Just to hear how your foot responds towards the regionals and if you'll give it a go. Good luck anyway!

Hi again, So I ran regionals yesterday: we didn't make states, but the ankle deep mud across the coarse made it worth it anyways. I did not feel my foot hurting at all that day or during the race, however it felt like the problem had come back about 30 minutes after I finished. This morning it feels fine though, and since the season is over I have a few weeks to rest it before track. Thanks again for all the help
