I have recently been running quite a bit and noticed pain where my 4th metatarsal connects to the proximal phalanx on my left foot. At first I thought it was just from curling my toes and was a cramp, but the pain has lasted a few days. I don't have any pain on the top of my foot, but seem to have some swelling on the bottom. I can relieve the pain by cracking the two toes next to my pinky toe.
I am still able to run, but I am worried that if I keep running this could become worse. Being a running addict, I also don't want to stop if it just a bruise or something and I won't be able to see a foot doctor until at least Monday.
Has anyone ever had this before? Does anyone know what it could be?
