I'm wondering if any other BF'ers have input on what might be causing
this. I have a pain on the top of my right foot (and a bit on my left)
around the area of the 4th metatarsal, about in the middle of my foot.
I didn't run a lot over the summer, but I did wear flip-flops a lot,
and I suspect that is the cause.
It isn't a stress fracture--I'm able to run 5 miles BF, and it doesn't
hurt at all when I run. It does hurt the next day, and I'm wearing my
Waldies now to see if that helps. Otherwise, I'm icing and taking
naproxen to see if that helps.

Kelly, I agree that this pain could well be a stress fracture. Although it may not be the only possible explanation. A couple of years ago I had a pain on...
My theory is that many of these pains are simply (or not-so-simply) counterparts to bottom-of-the-foot pain (platar fasciitis). P.F. responds well to...

When I feel chilled from a fever, I crawl under a pile of blankets, and drink lots of water. Within an hour, except for wanting a good shower or bath, I feel...
In my experience, ice does NOT heal an injury. What it may do is reduce swelling, allowing more bloodflow in the area of interest while it warms back up. I...
