Question about pain in foot.

[Lora]

Hi Cathe,
I've been having the strangest pain in my left foot. Luckily it doesn't happen when I workout. It's a sharp pain located on the ball about 1/2 to 1 inch below my second toe. The little tow being the first one. If you've never heard of this might know of a site that could help? I'm just wondering if this is common in athletes. I probably should go and see my doctor about it. It seems to be getting worse. Thanks for any help you can give me. Lora

Call your doctor!

I'm not Cathe but I definitely think you should see a doctor, espcially if it's getting worse. It's not going to go away if you ignore it.

Meanwhile cool the impact of your workouts and ice the foot everyday, and, most importantly, call your doctor for an appointment.

I agree with Jane.

See your doc. Foot trouble can manifest itself in every part of your body. If you do a lot of damage it could lay you up. I wear custom orthotics. My left arch collapsed and it was a long time before I could work out. I take no chances now!
