I went to see the podiatrist today. He was a great guy and listened well. He finally diagnosed the foot pain based on the bottom of my right foot as Morton\u2019s Neuroma. According to WebMD, Morton\u2019s Neuroma is a swollen or thickened nerve in the ball of your foot. When your toes are squeezed together too often and for two long (I\u2019m guessing by running), the nerve that runs between the toes can swell and get thicker. This makes it painful when I walk on the foot. Funny but I never had pain when running – only when I walked the next day or two. According to the doc, the nerve gets numb when I run, so I don\u2019t really feel it then – only later.\u00a0 So, one shot of cortisone a a few days of rest later, I should be good to go by Thursday or Friday morning. I should note that the shot of cortisone was into the TOP of my foot (ouch) but really didn\u2019t hurt at all.<\/span><\/p>\n

On a side note, he also mentioned that my orthotics should be worn every day, not just in my running shoes. So, except for flip flops or bare feet, they will be in my shoes going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
