Extreme Veteran 501 Northbrook | Subject: Outside foot pain Hey everyone, Wanted to see if anyone out there has the same injury as me and what can be done to help get rid of it. About 3 weeks ago, I was running and after about half a mile I started to feel some pain on the outside of my left foot. I was running in Vibram's on soft trail and this was not the first time I have done this. I stopped running after this mostly because it was too painful to run and am still waiting to see how long it would take for this pain to go away. From the videos and instructions, I see that it is not a stress fracture. There is no swelling and no pain when I push on any metatarsal bones. The only pain I have is when pushing outside in on the part where the pinky meets the metatarsal bone. The pain is only present when pushing and my foot is relaxed. When I tense the foot, the pain is not there. Has anyone had something similar happen? Thank you all for your help! I cannot wait to get back to running so this time off is brutal for me. |

25 | Subject: RE: Outside foot pain I've had this pain and wondered about it too?! I do not wear zero drops or flat shoes as I have an injury that would finish my tri career overnight if I so much as attempted. (I couldn't walk for about 6 weeks I was in so much pain; that's a separate issue anyway). I just wondered if you had found anything further about this? I'm wondering if something has just popped that little bone out of place - I had a chiropractor "pop it back in" pre race in the summer and I've started to notice now when it does hurt. I did something too it earlier this week and it's feeling better now but I wonder if I've popped it again. |

Extreme Veteran 650 Sacramento, California | Subject: RE: Outside foot pain I may be experiencing a similar issue. I was also running in some minimalist shoes (Merrell MixMasters) and started to get the same pain as you describe it. For me, it hasn't gone completely away, but the intensity has subsided a great deal and I'm able to run. I think my problem was the shoes being to tight around my forefoot and/or maybe the lack of cushion in the shoe. So I decided to get a shoe with wider toe box and with some cushioning. I got the Brooks Ghost 7. I'm able to run and have not increased the pain levels. So far so good. I'm thinking I might try the Altra zero drop shoes as they have a wide toe box and also have cushioning. They look a bit funny, but if they work, heck why not. For now I'll stick with the Brooks and see how it goes. |

25 | Subject: RE: Outside foot pain My chiropractor told me in no uncertain terms to stay away from zero drop and barefoot shoes as they cause and exacerbate these kinds of problems. I now have a collapsed arch along with the Achilles tendonitis and this little bone pain so I'm steering clear. I actually run in brooks ghosts too but need to double check which shoes are good for over pronators now. I'd suggest going to get your biomechanics and gait checked out before buying your next pair of shoes. |

25 | Subject: RE: Outside foot pain Great to hear!! I found out what was causing my pain too! My biomechanics - running pigeon toed and forcing my bodyweight onto my arches! Working hard to correct it every run now! |
