Hello all,
I saw my podiatrist today and he tells me I have MN of the 1st & 2nd toe but I am not convinced.
Heres what happend: I was running on Monday night quite comfortably but some runners in front of were running slower than me on a downward hill which caused me to break by going up on my toes.
I continued running and all seemed fine but about 3/4 of a mile I felt I had a stone in the shoe of my right foot that was aggravating my second toe. I stopped, took my shoe off and sock but nothing was in there.
Now 10 days later everytime I put direct impact with the floor at mid-stance and during push off my 2nd toe has a sharp tingling feel at the very end of the toe.
I can stand on the balls of my feet just fine (like when doing calf raises), I can bend every toe without pain, when I squeeze my foot, no pain. In fact I can do anything to the foot with no pain, even pushing the metatarsal head of second toe.
If I put my fingers between the webbing of the 1st & 2nd I can bring the tingling on.
On close inspection I noticed that when I pit my foot flat down all the toes are touching the ground apert from my 2nd which is elevated a little off the ground.
I have had an x-ray and my Doc says there is not break/fracture.
I did try this taping method which did take a lot of the sharp pain away - http://www.aptei.com/library/viewReport.jsp?report=431
Is this MN or may I have just strained?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thank you
