Heel Ache - JP Fitness Forums

I noticed that my left foot was slightly sore this AM and I have not had a problem with it before. I ran on it early last night and did not have any discomfort. Standing on the foot is not a problem but when running as the toes go down to push off it becomes pretty painful. I have a 5K tonight and I was going to take some Alleve and rub the heel with some Aspercreme. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Ice, massage and NSAIDs are the typical protocol with running injuries and it certainly couldn't hurt.

I wouldn't worry about it too much but be careful if the pains increases as your running. If it does, stop. It's most likely nothing but be careful those symptoms are more or less how my peroneal tendonosis started out!

I tried ice and ibuproffen when I got home but when it was time to leave for the run It was so painful to put weight on it that I bagged the race altogether. I still went to the festival to support my running buddy and enjoy a few beers. After quite a few beers the pain subsided (no Shit). Now 2 days later it seems to be totally gone. I will go running Sunday AM and see if it comes back. Oh well I was pissed I couldn't run but I have another race scheduled for next Saturday.
