The top of my foot really hurts?!


Question: The top of my foot really hurts!?
This is the first year that I have run track (freshman in high school) and we are two weeks into it!. My top of the foot has really started to hurt near where the shoelaces are tied!. I can't run that fast because it really hurts like I have a bruise there!. What can cure this!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You sound like you have a stress fracture!.(these are very common in dancers and runners) I recently found out that I have a stress fracture in my second metatarsal!. Since you run track I would guess that the fracture would be in the third metatarsal!. I had all the same symptoms as you though!. The pain started in the top of my left foot!. I ignored it at first because I thought it was just a bruise!. I kept dancing on it, and as a few days went by I noticed the pain was gradually getting worse and it was beginning to become painful to walk and wiggle my toes!. I went to the doctor and after all the x-rays and things he has me in a walking boot for 2 months and prescribed a month of follow up physical therapy before I am able to dance again!.

My best advice is don't put it off!. You will definitely prolong the healing proses!.!.!.which in turn could lead to surgery! Take it easy, and don't run again until you have seen a doctor!. Also, there are some really good articles out there pertaining to stress fractures!. If your curious, I would do a little research :)

Best of luck to you!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
