I bruised my foot on a run about a month ago. At least I thought it was a bruise. It has not improved at all. It is painful to touch. I can't walk w/o wearing a shoe with some cushioning but I can run with only a little pain. It's at the ball of my foot, near the middle, directly back from the 2nd/3rd toes. Has anyone heard of/had this? Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!
Thanks. Could you tell me a little more or point me to some useful info? I don't know anything about neuromas and it'll be at least a month before I can get to a doc.
Check out this link. This is good info on many injuries. Also read the info on metatarsalgia, as you could have that rather than a neuroma.
Other than what the website says, ice daily. But a podiatrist is the best solution.
source is runners who have had success. I agree with his preliminary assessment. Its a neuroma until proven otherwise. It could be relieved some with wider shoes and maybe an over-the-counter neuroma pad from any drug store. Don't delay the treatment as having one operated on often leaves the foot numb in the area that it was removed.
