Foot Pain

[KIDSTYPIKE]

Until yesterday I've not been able to go walking for over a week. I've had sharp,stabbing pains along the the top of my foot.
Visited the A&E department of our local hospital for X-Rays but they showed no damage to bones. The doctor reckons it's a bad case of tendenitis which time and anti-inflammatory gel will eventually clear up.
Anybody else had anything similar?
I did manage a couple of miles yesterday without too much bother but wouldn'tv want to risk it on the Lakeland Fells just yet.

Dont rule out back trouble scyiatica can cause all sorts of pain in feet and legs,,,,,

Buy clogs

They are by far the preferred choice of theatre staff who are on their feet all day and are fantastic for your feet. I stand up for up to 6 hours in some cases and get no grief at all whereas trainers, or shoes, for example would kill me

Years ago, back in the seventies, clogs were very popular with people who had to stand all day. I suppose they were the predecessor of Crocks - I know people who swear by them for making leg pain more bearable.

I haven't seen anyone wearing clogs on the lakeland fells before, I don't think Dave will get too far wearing them - but I have seen idiots in flip flops straight up!

I spent a night in Thirlmere Youth Hostel years ago,,, ( it was the night we sunk the Belgrano) It was snowing a hooly outside. The other guests were a Japanese student and a new zealand couple, That time of year there was no warden,The couple dissapeared to bed and I tried to chat to japeneses friend,,, after realising he had next to no english I said Japanese make great cars and smiled,,, He smiled back and said yeh but oeoeoeoe boots, and held up his walking boots with the soles hanging of... He then went on to show me his route for the following day in the snow,, Striding edge , copper mines and swirrel if he had time,,,,, I was of to grasmere.... I never did hear from him again,,,,,

How's the foot Dave? Any improvement? Have you managed any walks? (I noticed you'd not added any more walks to your site recently)

I also suffer from a similar pain as you describe ..but for me its runs under the foot..I found that wearing a foot support especially when out running really does help..as someone else mentioned that it could be related to scyicatica in the back..I suffer from this due to a fall while out horse riding many years ago..Im sure my foot pain that i experience is linked to this..

Pete,
The foot is slowly improving but not enough to get out onto the Lakeland Fells just yet. I haven't added any walks to the site since the 13th November but I have been doing a few short local walks which are in the "Local Pictures" section.
