After a inteval run workout a week ago, the balls of both feet hurt. Week later, still painfull. Did not run all week. Swim, no problem. Bike was uncomfortable. Shoes pretty new, but have worn some model for months. Any idea's before I make an appointment?

I had that for a long time too.  I thought it was from running or being too heavy.  Went to podiatrist and got an xray and it turned out it was a little tiny hairline crack of some sort.  The dr. made a little pad thing with a hole in it, which I wore with extra stiff, extra high-arch insert and it cleared up for the most part.  When it came back, he recommended one of those velcro strap boot casts, which I wore for a few weeks, and then I was ok.

That was about 2 yrs ago.  Now I'm starting to have that same pain again, so might pre-emptively wear the cast again.  By the way, it felt GREAT with the cast on...no pain.  So I know it was helping instantly.

Whatever it is, good luck!

Problem is that it's both feet, mostly the left. I guess it wasn't too good an idea to run intervals this morning because the left foot hurts like a bear (sorry bear). If I go to the podiatrist, he'll probably say rest it....so, I'll save some $ and rest it myself. Have a sprint 9/21......RATS

Mine both hurt too.  Just the left one more than the right.

Rggh.  I know where you're at tho...bills vs. finding out all you need is rest and ice.  I hate that!!!
