| hel vino | 3 days | WEEEIRDest injury ever, sunday it was intensely painful I couldn't even walk properly in the afternoon. So I did the classic RICE all Sunday afternoon & evening and it miraculously got better to the extent that I could do jumping, running drills, fast stuff on Monday morning with no pains whatsoever. I have changed the lacing on all my right foot running shoes so nothing will press there & won't wear the Ice Bugs for a while - if ever. | details |

| franklinwood | 7 days | 07.06.13: Ran 20km on Saturday and had only a slight pain, but it was relieved by wiggling the toes. Ran 15km today and had no problems. I think the rest has been good. Plus I think I caught it in the early stages. Will keep a check on it, esp. given I have a 100k in 2 weeks. I think perhaps it was a combination of overuse and I the shoes were too tight. r | details |
| dersu | 7 days | Initial diagnosis probably correct. Kept my shoelaces loose and it went away on its own. | details |
| PhilW | 7 days | Diclofenac for 6 days-this is the 4th, start with colchimax for 3 months the allopurinol for who knows how long. | details |
| matt_parton | 8 days | details | |
| andrewg | 8 days | Even weeks after, my foot still is damaged. When i'm running, there is still that burning tightness feeling like the nail had just been pulled out. Luckily it didn't leave any pernament damage, and i will eventually be good as new once again. | details |
| Loopy Lou | 8 days | details | |
| Sherpa | 9 days | Still swollen, but not sore anymore. | details |

| Tyson | 10 days | Still hurts, but it doesn't affect my running any more. | details |
| Macca | 10 days | Ian fixed it for me :) | details |
| PhilW | 10 days | Cross training, rest. I'm not 100% sure it's OK, but it feels OK most of the time. | details |
| Wyatt | 10 days | Some achilles to toe stretching. Wearing shoes with wider toe box. Pain relieveing patches under the ball of my foot. Not sure what worked, but it slowly went away. I may stay away from the new Asics I got as they may be too small. Not sure. | details |
| ahall | 10 days | let it heal.... | details |
| TimGood | 11 days | details | |
| pfc | 11 days | Still not 100%, but severity < 1 | details |
| bbrooke | 11 days | I think I can keep this in check with regular ibuprofen and icing. | details |
| Hobitas | 11 days | details | |
| Karhunpoika | 11 days | Only rest of couple weeks. From beginning few minutes period per day cool and hot shower. | details |

| ebuckley | 12 days | details | |
| RJM | 12 days | no running for over a week (easy because of poor weather). | details |
| Bert Bennett | 12 days | Must try not to keep reinjuring my ankles! | details |
| Wyatt | 13 days | Orienteering in my old green O' shoes seems to help this. Running didn't help much. | details |
| Schwepps | 13 days | Two weeks of rest | details |
| omaster | 13 days | eventually stopped being a problem. just slowly went away | details |
| Anna | 14 days | When I first hurt it, I could still run on it, so I did. But then it didn't get better, so I stayed off it, and it healed a lot quicker. | details |
| Tane | 14 days | Always cut your toe nails before a big run! | details |
| Ant Squire | 14 days | details | |
| avro | 14 days | details | |
| chiuihc | 14 days | ice | details |
| bedders | 15 days | Rest. Will say it's recovered for now but I will continue to keep tabs on it. | details |
| PhilW | 16 days | Doubled the dose on Tuesday with the Dr. advise. No problems the next day. Plan of action is to continue with 1/day for 3 months, and begin on another preventative med. The frequent attacks this year could be due to my weight loss this year, and being more on the dehydrated side most of the time. certain Food (seafood,pork) and alcohol are a triggers though. | details |

| 3m | 19 days | Not really sure what was going.. still kind of there when I run, will ask physio | details |
| hel vino | 19 days | This was an unbelievably frustrating injury, everytime it felt like getting better the pain would come back even worse than before. There isn't much you can do with soft tissue injuries like this apart from be sensible and rest at first and then gradually start to train again to strengthen the joint once it's started to heal. I was a bit lucky in that I did it at EOC so there was a physio there to tell me not to run at first - otherwise I would have (it's a toe) & it probably would have gone ... | details |
| ahall | 19 days | If you think something is infected it probably is..... I got so fed up with the pain on Monday 22nd that I soaked and drained the wound - instant relief and a surprising amount of gunk. Doctor confirmed that I had done the right thing at my follow up on Wednesday | details |

| kurthu | 22 days | details | |
| hkleaf | 22 days | There hasn't been any pain post-run in the last week. More importantly, no discomfort felt after the hard hill repeats yesterday. So I'm going to take this off the list. What helped? New shoes, or more specifically not wearing the Pearl Izumi. No track/super fast running plus icing also helped. I've also done a much better job stretching. | details |
| LilFlip | 23 days | Caused by over-doing it - too much too fast. Recovered with time and rest. Not sure of exact recovery date, so this is a guess. | details |
| mmace | 23 days | details | |
| C2 | 24 days | details | |
| Bruce | 24 days | a couple of weeks rest from running. Not completely gone, but definately better. | details |

| Solo | 30 days | details | |
| jeffw | 31 days | My foot seems mostly better as I'm planning to get back to my usual running schedule. Reducing the amount of running, avoiding rocks, and icing once in awhile helped the recovery. | details |

| Georgia | 53 days | details | |
| Vaala | 59 days | Tying my shoelaces too tight is not a good idea, especially not ice skates after your feet have swollen from running that morning! Recovery? Try and keep off it and then watch your laces every time you tie them. | details |
| Loopy Lou | 65 days | details | |
| noken | 71 days | details | |
| hkleaf | 74 days | Typical R.I.C.E. treatment, plus NSAID for a little while. Still haven't worn any extra arch support with shoes yet, and so far no relapses. But I'll probably look into getting a pair of Power Step. | details |

| GrantM | 109 days | Wasn't a neuroma - bloody stupid Internet diagnosis on my part. It was a structural thing with my foot. In the end I went to the podiatrist and got some v. expensive orthotics. Seems to have done the trick. Hasn't cured the problem, but it has mitigated it dramatically. Can't wear the orthotics when O'ing - they don't fit inside my ankle braces, but manage to wear them most of the other time. They do help. | details |
| Quirkey | 117 days | The forced rest-up on account of another more serious injury (broken ribs) seems to have done the trick. 2007-10-26 Gone away again it would appear.... will this turn into a recurring nag?? | details |

| blegg | 146 days | details | |
| Wyatt | 153 days | Stretching the toe flexor helped a lot when I figured that out - basically start with a calf stretch, but then just keep pushing the knee forward letting the heel come off the ground, but keeping the ball of the foot and toes on the ground. | details |
| PhilW | 158 days | Not really recovered, but I think this one will need to go down as chronic. It's not going away, but not getting any worse either. Old age maybe? | details |
| Tullster | 180 days | details | |
| jools | 182 days | I don't know if it has recovered, but I've seen the podiatrist a couple of times and tried changing the profile of my sole, to take the impact off the sore part, but that hasn't helped. I reckon it's plantar faciitis, and am trying a stretch suggested in a recent running magazine. It's not getting any worse. | details |

| Fat Rat | 230 days | details | |
| naomi | 235 days | not sure if it was a stress fracture. trained on the bike only for a while and when i tried running afterwards the pain was gone. | details |
| TommyQ | 270 days | Still not perfect nine months later but nearly up to running 30 minutes and I'm now confident the operation was the right way to go. | details |
| Manney1 | 420 days | details | |
| mindsweeper | 427 days | It was interesting that the problem did not go away while I was not training due to my hip injury. I think the problem gets worse when I wear one particular pairs of office shoes too much, and I'll try to avoid that. | details |

| danf | 861+ days | 6/17 I've had the orthotics for two weeks now roughly and I think they've made a big difference. The numbness still shows up on very sandy runs (like Torrey Pines) but I haven't experienced any from harder surfaces, even on significant hills. In addition, the orthotics seem to help somewhat with my calf problems as well. I suppose I should take this off my "injury" list. I'm doing strengthening exercises for my posterior tibial tendon and feet in general (including balancing exercises). ... | details |
