I went running for the first time in years the other day. Went a mile and a half.
The next day, my legs are only barely sore, but my left foot is unusable to walk on. If I step down, if feels like a 4 inch needle is going into my heel.
I dont believe it could be a pinched nerve or pulled muscle, because from what I read, you feel those when they happen, not the next day.
I dont believe it's bruising, as I cant see any visible bruises, and I can press and squeeze all over my foot with my hand as hard as I can and it feels normal...no pain. no swelling. no marks or discoloration. But then I go to walk on it, and ouch, there's the stabbing pain again.
It doesnt hurt on impact with the ground, its more like when the foot does it's natural "rolling" motion during walking, combined with my body weight. If I only walk on the ball of my left foot, it's fine.
In the past 48 hours, since it started, The only thing rest has done has bought me a few steps I can take before the pain is back as strong as ever.
So I'm thinking no pinched nerves, no pulled muscle, no bruising, and I cant imagine it's regular muscle tearing soreness...my legs arent hurting, nor did my other foot. I never heard of getting sore foot muscles from running before anyway. I'm concerned/annoyed about what is going on here.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks much in advance.
