Well, possible injury...

I was training on turf on Tuesday. It was easily the longest session on turf I've ever had. I was making a lot of cuts and doing mostly feetwork routines (for FB), etc.

The next day (yesterday) I noticed that where the small bones in the foot all come together (about midfoot) on the outside, there was a lot of pain and a bit of swelling. I didn't think anything of it, got thru a light morning of cardio and it was good after I wormed up.

After I cooled down it hurt like hell again.

So I go in for a leg workout last night and I get to calves, got thru one set (standing) and came off, I almsot curled up in a ball and dried the pain was so bad. It was the extra weight, standing on the balls of my feet for extended periods of time.

I hit the bike instead of the threadmill to close out the night.

I'm taking this weekend completely off of anything on my feet and see where I am on Monday.

My buddy suggested it may be a stress fracture seeing as tho I'm a fatty.

Could very well be.

Will keep you guys updated. Been icing and taking IBprofen

Bro you should continue to work it daily. Actually 3x per day. On your breaks jump up and down on the bad foot. After about a week of this you should probably be hospitalized and off from work. Thank me later bro.

100% paid up to 6 weeks for disability by my work, then I get to collect off state after that, lmao

sounds like a possible stress fracture to me too especially since you were on turf... forget about the workout advice I gave you and do the opposite. No weight bearing cardio sessions if I were you. Good luck with it bro RICE it and let us know your progress

Is that and acronym for something "RICE" - or a slang of rest and ice? Sorry, I'm not too quick. But Milke, that advice was solid, thanks a billion again. I will be giving that a go for certain when I get better.

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

good luck bro!

is your pain more on the heel pad of your foot along the outside arch ?
It sounds as though it may be something called plantar fasciitis.
It worsens in situations where your sitting for a long period of time and then get up and resume activity. What happens it the plantar fascia muscles runs along the bottom of the foot and attaches at the calcaneus ( fat pad of the heel )
It sounds like you may be having some of these symptoms.
What happens if the plantar fascia shortens and then when you go to stand on it and resume activity the plantar fasica actually beging to tear away from the calcaneal bone.

I can give you a few exercises to hopefully eradicate this problem
However i think its important to find otu a bit more information in order to pin point it to a plantar fasiciits problem.
Plantar fasciitis can often be treated with arch adjustments through taping as well as orthotics in most cases.
PM me an dlet me know some more info so i can help you out

If you take a look at this pic on the link, my spot of pain amlmost directly 1 inch north-east of where they show the stress fracture. Just about where the bones are cluttered up on the outside of the foot.

It definatley hurts after I've been sitting for a long time and get up. But when I "warm-up" (been on my feet for a while), the pain lessens into almost no pain at all.


here's that link:

plantar fascitis is a common runners injury and is the worst when you wake up in the morning and put your feet on the ground for the first time. Tight calves are often the culprit as is overuse especially if you've gained weight which I believe you have... Typically PF runs along the arch of the foot so I'm not sure if that's what youv'e got. I've had a great deal of foot problems and it doesn't seem like PF to me... if it does turn out to be that accupuncture works great

a good indicator to let you know if it's PF roll your foot over a golf ball and massage the arch of your foot with it... if it feels good to do this it may be PF. Another reason why I don't think it's PF is that you haven't mentioned your other foot bothering you at all. It's not unusual to get it in just one foot but some signs of tightness/pain/throbbing or some symptoms are usually common in both feet. Come to think of it don't try the golf ball because if it is a stress fracture it'll fucking kill

I work in Physio and alot of the information that people have provided on this link have been wrong.
If you want more CORRECT info on plantar fasciitis PM me

Mike - PF is not usually seen bilaterally it is usually a unilateral problem.

I has a similar set of symptoms - extreme pain in the same region of the food when I was doing calf work on the leg press with about 1050 on it. Hurt to walk and run, but not to do those elipitical things, so I could still do some cardio. Swimming might also be an option.

I cut out the calf exercises for six weeks and it feels fine now. I am gonna start back with some other calf exercises at a lower weight; I was increasing it in line with my leg press which may not have been the best thing to do.
