Note
X-ray didn't show signs of a fracture. The third metatarsal is a bit longer than usual, and substantially longer than the fourth, which could be part of the reason it (the third) hurts.
Doc said that ball-planting is not natural and not a good way to run. Interesting.
He gave me some adhesive padding to put before the metatarsal head to raise it up a little. And advised against running for a couple of weeks, but said that if the last game of the season were coming up I could play (at my own risk). BHT?? :)
