So a week ago I just started back on hard workouts, feeling great. Saturday I decided to run up to school because I left my truck up there. After running about 5 miles on pavement, I felt a severe cramping pain in my peroneal muscles and also had intense lateral foot pain. I was limping the rest of the day. I took time away the past week, started biking because that doesn't hurt.

I notice that it hurts mainly when extending my calf upward (like a push off motion) and hurts the most right as I'm fully extended with weight on one leg, as if you were doing a calf raise. Aching pain along the peroneal muscles also follows any mentionable amount of activity on this leg. What do you think this is and what do you think is the best course of action to get healthy for track season?

I know I haven't given a great amount of detail, but this is the baseline report based on the incident/symptoms. Please ask any relevant questions you have.

I don't respond to any post that starts with "So". The most overused word in the world.

Sounds to me like a cuboid issue.... see if you can find a chiro or PT who can do the cuboid whip and stay off it for a while.

Just got over a case of this. Rest for a couple days and stick the foot into bucket of ice for 10 minutes each night.

re: I just want to be healthy

Just got over this in the summer, mine was peroneal for sure, but it could very well be cuboid for you.

I would get a 5 gallon bucket of ice water and a 5 gallon bucket of hot bath water and then ice and heat by doing 20 min ice, 15 min nothing, 20 min heat, 15 min nothing and repeat. I don't know if this was the best way to go about it or not, but I would keep trying to rest it and run after a few days and it would come right back, but as soon as I took one full week of no biking or running or swimming, it was gone and so I was out 3 weeks, but if you haven't been running on it, it should only take about 2-3 weeks. Also, it hurt BAD, I couldn't walk it hurt so bad, happened about 1 mi into a run and Bam, hurt hurt and then all of a sudden it HURTTTTT. So, don't think it was very minor, it was bad.

(Also, I played volleyball several times because if I walked a certain way it didn't hurt, but I always messed up and hurt it anyways, so I probably would've recovered even sooner if I hadn't)

That's my experience, hope it goes well for you. My biggest advice is rest it and if it hurts, don't do it, and while at home, use crutches if it hurts to walk, I also did that and could tell it helped the same day.
