Hello everyone,
Some time ago (around 4 months ago), I made the mistake of full-out running in my VFFs for a long duration without proper form, and for way too long.
Next two days I have crazy sore calves, and then, while walking for long distances, I start to notice that my left ankle starts "cracking" or "snapping" when I walk, and then really bad pain ensues, and I have trouble walking.
The next two months, I have peroneal tendonitis, and what I'm positive is also subluxation. I've seen the doctor only to be prescribed pain-killers and being told to rest.
Today I don't have pain, but I do notice my ankle cracking, and some days, I feel that the ankle might be flairing up with small amounts of pain. I REALLY love barefoot walking, and my Vivobarefoot shoes, and want to run barefoot again, but I'm scared that I'll need to see a specialist and have surgery done.
Has anyone had issues with peroneal subluxation? I am scared of surgery and not sure what it will do in the future for me in case I want to run marathons or ultras. Is it possible to do exercises/yoga to strengthen those muscles without needing surgery?
Would I be doing my feet a disservice by going back to conventional shoes?
Would love to hear any advice or tips on posture or exercises. I'm going on a youtube marathon because I badly want to run as it is great for my type 1 diabetes. BONUS: I live in the Netherlands, so if anybody knows a good doctor thats barefoot friendly, I would LOVE to know them.
Thanks everyone,
A
