Then, in February, just as track was starting up, I began to feel some pain in my foot. Decided to keep on going, but it kept getting worse. I'm going to pts, massage therapists, podiatrists, I have custom inserts, and I'm icing, stretching, doing everything possible for it. I started out the season trying to limit practices a bit and doing everything that I could off of my feet, so that I could compete at meets. After one meet, I could barely walk or stand on it. So, I took two weeks completely off. I came back with limited practices and it has just continued to get worse (it's now in the other foot too :mad: ). It just won't seem to go away and it's pretty much shot my season.


oh wow ... pretty much teh same situation as me bvpv! except i have stress fracture in my inner leg. hopefully ur injury is getting better, :yes: depending on where the pain is in ur foot, u should try Salonpas patch ... they work so well to alleviate pain.
