    Just wanted to update, and I Just wanted to update, and I have noticed another symptom. I have reached the end of the maximum (10 day) period for taking NSAIDs, so I won't be taking them anymore. I don't really know what to say about the pain. I've just been staying off it whether I can tell...

    Okay momma TJ, I'm smelling Okay momma TJ, I'm smelling what you're stepping in, lol. But really, if it comes back I'll revisit the doctor. Even though I eat my 1+ apples a day, I'll still do it.

    Shoe rules just don't make sense.

    Yes I have to agree, the Yes I have to agree, the rules about shoes are stupid. I think a lot of it is caused by our society becoming so used to wearing shoes, and so everyone has started developing bias, ignorance, and distortion of what is actually true. Yeah, that thing about flip flops is...

    Pain under 2nd metatarsal head

    Ah yes TJ, thanks for Ah yes TJ, thanks for asking! I haven't really even thought about it since my appointment Sept. 9th. I haven't had the slightest hint of pain since then.

    Wow, that was an in-depth Wow, that was an in-depth post Danjo :p It's all good I see what you are saying about the form. I think we often get too caught up in it and try running the way we think is the "right" way. I wonder sometimes if maybe I should just let go and run so it feels natural...

    Pain under 2nd metatarsal head

    I agree lownox, we don't I agree lownox, we don't exactly have a formal education on this stuff :P I guess it's just one of those TMTS things, where we run too much while our feet our going through their changes. Hopefully it's not just the pain relievers numbing the pain, but it does seem...

    Thanks for the info and Thanks for the info and links, miqie. Maybe tires would be too thick and heavy of a material. Plus it's more difficult to get them. What do you use for laces, just shoe laces from a store? Also, what length should the laces be? If you have a knot on the bottom, doesn't...

    Thanks for your reply Zumba. Thanks for your reply Zumba. Asking questions is perfectly fine ;) Anyway, I haven't really established much of a "base" with barefoot running distance. I have been kind of inconsistent, largely to try avoiding TMTS. I also took it slow because of a previous...

    Cassie, it's great that you Cassie, it's great that you could start barefoot running around the same time you started running. What a great way to begin! I'm 16. I almost feel misplaced here, lol :party: I've been running since 7th grade (12 years old). I started my barefoot running journey...

    I am a novice barefoot runner, and I've only been trying to do it for about 5 months. Right now I'm not running, as I have a small injury probably from TMTS. I am usually on our high school cross country and track team, but I couldn't do cross country because of the whole barefoot thing being so...

    Pain under 2nd metatarsal head

    Thanks for sharing your Thanks for sharing your experience, Lownox. I would have to agree, what you are saying seems right on the spot. I'll try taking some NSAIDs and icing as well. Of course I will rest too. To be honest, the whole thing really does sound kind of like an actual "bruise". If...
